Schaum's Outline of Strength of Materials 4th Edition

William Nash

McGraw-Hill, 1998

Well written book
I have already finished courses in strength of materials etc., and am using this book as a reference, instead of those voluminous handbooks. The book is very well written and William Nash has an excellent, straight forward way of putting forth the key points. The book ...

Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain

Warren Young, Richard Budynas

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2001

Five Stars With no Doubt.
During my years as Structural Calculyst this book was always on my right side on my desk, and when I needed it, it was ready to help me find my way. One really very good Engineer has never found all formulas in his head, instead he should be able of finding them out ...

Schaum's is the greatest educational series, ever. Exactly what I expected from Schaum's regarding structural calculations.

Compression for Clinicians

Theodore H. Venema

Delmar Cengage Learning, 2006

Ottimo con qualche ingenuità
Un ottimo manuale che tutte le persone che lavorano nel settore audioprotesico dovrebbero leggere. Semplice, chiaro, per tutti. Peccato per la troppa fiducia nel protesizzare (negli esempi) ipoacusie a normoudenza nei gravi con protesi pretimpaniche cic.

Digital Video Compression (with CD-ROM)

Peter Symes

McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics, 2003

Very Comprehensive
This is probably the best overall book on video compression on Amazon. I gave it five stars because of that. The only down side is that it is now a bit dated, with the creation of newer and better MPEG4 compression schemes (like H264) since the book was written (2003). ...

H.264 and MPEG-4 Video Compression: Video Coding for Next Generation Multimedia

Iain Richardson, Iain E. G. Richardson

Wiley, 2003

Totally solid, and still the only book out there
I almost didn't get this book because some of the other reviews are pretty bad. I'm glad I got it! This isn't a standard. So you won't find every table that's part of h.264, but you'll find enough that the standard will be accessible after you read this book. And ...

Compression Scars

Kellie Wells

University of Georgia Press, 2002

A great work from my mentor
Kellie Well's collection is of some personal worth to me. I had been graced with her mentorship for a number of years. Strikingly unpretenious, she never mentioned her own work unless asked. When I came to her short stories as her student, I was completely ...

Mathematics of Digital Images: Creation, Compression, Restoration, Recognition

S. G. Hoggar

Cambridge University Press, 2006

A good book on mathematics applied to image processing
This book is quite academic in tone, but practical in content. It is more of a math book that uses imaging in its examples than a book about imaging that uses math as a tool. It does a good job of starting from the beginning in any mathematical topic it explains, going ...

Handbook of Image and Video Processing (Communications, Networking and Multimedia)

Academic Press, 2000

Outstanding Book !
This book is just GREAT. It covers almost every single ascpect of image and video processing. Everything is in deep and very good explained. A lot of before-and-after example pictures (important ones in color) are provided too. But beware. You need a fairly good ...

Jae-Beom Lee, Hari Kalva

Springer, 2008

The MPEG committee standardized the MPEG AVC (H.264) video coding standard in May 2003. The standard has since seen strong interest and adoption from the industry. A competing standard developed by Microsoft, referred to as VC-1, was standardized in SMPTE in April 2006. VC-1 is essentially a standardized version of Microsoft's Windows Media Video ...
