Review: "The technique of stop-motion animation was the most important way of creating cinematic monsters and fantasy creatures before the advent of the computer. It will forever be associated with the names of Willis O'Brien, the creator of King Kong, and Ray Harryhausen, whose films thrilled a generation of post-World War 11 movie-goers. Moreover, model animation is still alive and flourishing, most notably in the work of director Tim Burton and Aardman Animation's Nick Park, creator of Wallace and Gromit." "In this book Ray Harryhausen and Tony Dalton trace the entire history of the genre, illustrating their narrative with stills from long-forgotten films, photographs showing the animators at work, artwork and storyboards and a host of memorabilia."--BOOK JACKET.

With this revision, the author team has added a new Math Coach feature that provides students with an office hour experience by helping them to avoid commonly made mistakes.
