This book provides a complete guide for visualizing a data in 3 dimensions (3D) using R software. It contains 2 main parts and 7 chapters describing how to draw static and interactive 3D plots. - The chapter 1 is about data preparation for 3D plot - In chapter 2, we describe how to create easily basic static 3D scatter plots. We provide R codes for changing: 1) main and axis titles; 2) the appearance of the plot (point colors, labels and shapes, legend position, ...) - Chapter 3 presents how to create advanced static 3D plots including 3D scatter plots with confidence interval, 3D line plots, 3D texts, 3D barplots, 3D histograms and 3D arrows. - Chapter 4 describes the required package for drawing interactive 3D plots. - In chapter 5, we show how to transform easily an existing static 3D plot into aninteractive 3D plot. - Chapter 6 provides many examples of R codes for creating interactive 3D scatter plotswith 3D regression surfaces and concentration ellipsoids. We describe also how to exportthese graphs as png or pdf files. - Chapter 7 presents a complete guide to RGL 3D visualization device system. We provide also R codes for creating a movie from RGL 3D scene and for exporting plot into an interactive HTML web file. Each chapter is organized as an independent quick start guide. This means that, you don’tneed to read the different chapters in sequence.

HAIRcyclopedia Vol. 1 - The Legends in the first book from Taylor T. Carlson, the Las Vegas Valley's biggest fan of hard rock and heavy metal. The book features profiles for 60 of the hottest bands of the 80s and beyond, from popular bands like Motley Crue, Poison, and Guns N Roses, right down to more obscure ones like Bang Tango, Tora Tora, and Honeymoon Suite. Each band has a band member list, discography, recommendations, and a band biography. Information has been pulled from the author's extensive personal notes, and interviews with band members and fellow fans and experts. The book is printed in black and white and the emphasis is more on information - this is an encyclopedia, not a coffee table book. However, the book features extensive photographs from David Plastik, a legendary photographer of the era, as well as other contributors. The newest edition of the book features some minor revisions and some photos have been added/changed.

An anthology of the most chilling urban legends of all time collected by the maestro himself. Urban legends are those strange, but seemingly credible tales that always happen to a friend of a friend. For the first time, Professor Jan Harold Brunvand, "who has achieved almost legendary status" (Choice), has collected the creepiest, most terrifying urban legends, many that have spooked you since your childhood and others that you believe really did occur—even if it was one town over to some poor hapless coed who left a party early only to be followed by a man who just got loose from a mental hospital. From the classic hook-man story told around many a campfire to "Saved by a Cell Phone," these spine-tingling urban legends will give you goose bumps, even when you know they can't be true. Still, you'll continue to check the backseat of your car at gas stations and look under your bed at night before praying for sleep.
