Many of Mr. Eberly's books leave me dazed and confused.

I have owned this text for some time and I find it very informative as it covers a great deal of subjects. A review of the table of contents will give an indication of the material covered.

This book is used to implement geometric algorithms. The authors present both coordinate-free (which they favour) and coordinate-based approaches to geometry, and there is plenty of intuitive motivation.
