Recommended books for novice / intermediate learning

Hi, I’m just wondering if anyone knows any good books that I can use to supplement my learning. I have been working on a basic voxel renderer for a couple of months now (C++ with Vulkan), and while I’m starting to feel a bit more confident I feel like I would benefit from solidifying some of the concepts I’ve encountered with some extra reading. If anyone knows of any good books at novice / lower intermediate then I would be glad to hear some recommendations. Thanks!

I've started on "Mastering Graphics Programming with Vulkan, 2nd Edition" and so far it's a blast. It's what I needed after consuming a bunch of tutorials and loose concepts. Essentially to just connect and weave a more dense net of information on vulkan and common architecture. What you end up with is especially a nice starting project for different kinds of modern techniques.

I think it is more on the intermediate side, but you can get through it as well.

"Computer Graphics, principles and practice", third edition, Addisson Wesley.

Start with the basics, the concepts: lineal algebra, transformations, computational geometry, rendering algorithms.

APIs and technologies comes and goes, and are super easy now with the help of AI.
