The Modern Vulkan Cookbook - A practical guide to 3D graphics and advanced real-time rendering techniques in Vulkan

Preetish Kakkar, Mauricio Maurer

Sinopse

Vulkan is a graphics API that gives the program total control of the GPU, allowing the GPU to be used to its full potential. This cookbook will uncover useful techniques for emerging new technologies, such as hybrid rendering, extended reality – mixed reality (MR), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) – and GPU-driven rendering, and even features a dedicated chapter to help you debug and profile your graphics applications with tips and tricks tested in real-world scenarios.The book starts by explaining basic Vulkan concepts while guiding you through the implementation of a basic graphics engine. The building blocks presented in the first few chapters will then help you implement more advanced techniques and algorithms, while getting you acquainted with the inner workings of Vulkan. Gradually, you’ll discover how Vulkan can be used to build hybrid renderers as well as leveraged for the future of graphics with AR/VR/MR. Moreover, you’ll gain an understanding of how it can be debugged or measured for performance.By the end of this book, you’ll be well versed in how to use Vulkan to write graphics applications and how graphics algorithms are implemented using Vulkan.

Unrepeatable Beauty: Inner...

Lena Elisabet

Unrepeatable Beauty is a ceremonial invitation to recalibrate how we understand health, empowerment, and the female body. 
It dismantles the emotional architecture behind breast cancer— 
not through confrontation, but through clarity. 
This edition names what medicine often misses: 
• That breasts are not burden baskets 
• That emotional labor is not invisible 
• That sovereignty is not a side effect 
Through poetic diagnostics, mythic insight, and scroll-grade witnessing, Lena Elisabet invites readers to explore: 
• The biology of belief and the science of emotional containment 
• The cultural script of survival, gratitude, and reconstruction 
• The financial architecture of the breast cancer industry 
• The possibility that joy, boundaries, and inner radiance may prevent disease before it begins 
This is not a guide to surviving. 
It’s a guide to not collapsing in the first place. 
Can female empowerment and sovereignty cure breast cancer before it develops? 
This book doesn’t answer the question. 
It dignifies it.

Reimagining The Divine - A...

Dara Molloy

  
The globalised belief in one ‘God’ has become a problem. The prayer ‘Our Father in heaven’ presents an image that embodies the values of uniformity, exclusivity, patriarchy, authoritarianism and the absence of a sacred presence in nature. 
  
Here on earth, the climate and biodiversity emergencies foreshadow an apocalyptic future for humans and all life forms. To confront and resolve these emergencies, we need to apply values contrary to the ‘Father God’ image. The important values today include: diversity, inclusivity, gender justice, democracy and a recognition of the sacredness of nature. 
  
Can we find new spiritual images and narratives that embody these values? This book suggests we can. 
  
Reimagining the Divine is a call for diversity in belief. No religion has a monopoly of truth. Everyone’s experience and perspective has merit. 
  
The Spirituality of Experience is a form of mysticism that incorporates these new values. Practiced historically by Celtic monks, it focuses on one’s personal experience of the sacred, and not on beliefs or a creed. 
If your vision for the future is 
·     The return of humans to harmony with the rest of nature 
·     The building of a world community that is tolerant and inclusive 
·     Finding a way of living on this planet that corrects the human causes of climate change and biodiversity loss 
then this book may help you, and all of us, get there.
