While Kinematics and Dynamics makes several valuable points about simulation, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of dynamics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to animation. That said, the sections on animation are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in simulation, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Kinematics and Dynamics is a comprehensive exploration of simulation that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of simulation 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.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Kinematics and Dynamics, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains dynamics made everything click for me. I've been struggling with dynamics for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about dynamics - it reminded me so much of my own experience with simulation. I've already recommended it to all my friends!
