title: SVG Essentials (O'Reilly XML)
author:  J. David Eisenberg 
description: <i>SVG Essentials</i> opens the door to the rich language that underpins this emerging and fast-growing graphics language. Scalable Vector Graphics, which are described through text like a programming language and can be read on any computer platform with the appropriate viewer, hold great promise for the Web designer who knows how to take advantage of the latent power. This book helps to harness that power.
