If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: kinematics, inverse kinematics, animation, skeletal presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
I’ve already recommended it twice. The kinematics chapter alone is worth the price. (Side note: if you like Game Inverse Kinematics: A Practical Introduction, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

This is the rare book where I highlight a lot, but I also use the highlights. The inverse kinematics sections feel super practical.

I read one section during a coffee break and ended up rewriting my plan for the week. The inverse kinematics part hit that hard.

The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the kinematics connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like 7-7-7 Rule for Game Design (Paperback), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the skeletal arguments land.
