101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects: A Hands-On Journey Through 101 Programming Project Examples is a comprehensive exploration of programming that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 6 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 5's discussion of visualization is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

While 101 Ray-Tracing, Ray-Marching and Path-Tracing Projects: A Hands-On Journey Through 101 Programming Project Examples makes several valuable points about visualization, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of programming seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to ray-tracing. That said, the sections on shader are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in javascript, this could be a truly outstanding work.
