E. Wes Bethel, Hank Childs, and Chuck Hansen have developed an eminently readable and comprehensive book. It provides the very first in-depth introduction to the interaction of two highly important and relevant topics in computational science: high performance computing and scientific visualization. The book provides a broad background on both topics, but more importantly, for the first time in book form, they describe some of the most recent developments in scientific visualization as we move from the Petascale era to Exaflops computing. ... It will provide a solid foundation for anyone who considers using the most recent tools for visualization in order to understand complex simulation data or to understand the ever increasing amount of experimental data. I highly recommend this timely book for scientists and engineers. -From the Foreword by Horst Simon, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley
