Numerical recipes in ????? | Graphic Gems

[John Dickinson <John Dickinson]

Dear All,

I know this isn't exactly what the people on the list do but I didn't know
who else to ask.  Can anyone make any suggestions for books in the style
of Numerical Recipes in ??? for engineers like myself who often find
themselves doing computational number crunching as well as computational
geometry.

I have an old copy of the Numerical Recipes in C but it is time to get a
new one.  I would like a book that would also provide a more object
orientated approach to problems where it would help and would be a little
more indepth on optimization but doesn't overwhelm me with theorems of
convergency etc. 

Basically I need a application/use orientated book which discusses
strength and weeknesses of algorithms and application areas and gives me
references to more advanced literature if I need to pursue the theory ion
more depth.

What would be the closest equivalent book for Computational Geometry?
Would it be the Graphics Gems series?

John
