Contacts and Constraints offers a compelling take on Physics Simulation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Physics Simulation is excellent, I found the sections on Physics Simulation less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Engines that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Constraint Solvers more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Collision Detection will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Collision Detection, if not the definitive work.
