Books for thought

Just getting some ground work done on the subject area while I know what it is I roughly want to do, better to try reading up somethign relavent now than not too.

So I dived into the library today to pick up an assortment of books but came out with a few substitutions.

# Noise Control - by Charles E. Wilson, based on Measurement, Analysis and Control of Sound and Vibration.

My choice to get to know the topic better and see different techniques and approaches used.


#Audio in Media - by Stanley R. A,ten, based on the generality of sound and sound design and sound production.

I wanted to get to know more about the intricacies of sound in general and how it might benefit my honours project


#Handbook of Pattern Recognition and Image Processing - Edited by Tzay Y. Young and King-Sun Fu, based on problem solving, statistics, pattern recognition and varying audio aspects like seismic acoustic waveform analysis and biological signal processing

Just the few chapters on audio sparker my curiosity but the book as a whole seems my cup o tea from the glance at its other chapters.

#The Fat Man on GAME AUDIO - by George Alistair Sanger, based on the writers experiences with game audio and how to apply well tried practices.

This is a book i've been wanting to read for a while and got today incase I happen to do the game version of Webwinder and hence gain more technical knowledge of game design.


#Spiders Scorpians Centipedes and Mites - by J.L.Cloudsley - Thompson, based on the creatures listed in the title.

Albeit a not very humble topic to study it is necessary for my overall understanding of the spider and thigns like it on how it 'hears' or senses otherwise and will be good to know other facts when it comes to making the game if doable.


#The World of Spiders - by W. S. Bristowe, based on solely spiders and all you would want to know biologically about them and their habits.

I wanted to get another opinion on the whole spiders issue and so got this book aswell to solidify my research on them.


Well thats that for now of course I might end up dropping the whole subject completely so I will have to get the info as quick and neatly as possible so It wont affect my flow to just drop a book or two.

Have a great day.
