Real-time 3D Character Animation with Visual C++
This is the only book I've come across that covers
Inverse/Forward Kinematics for character animation.... its
got a good few pages here and there. It uses OpenGL
for its demo's and introduces you to the principles of bone
animation.

Game Programming Gems
Not an easy read! That's all I can say. But this
book is full of extremely useful tips and snippets.
I've had this book for over 3 years now, and it is still one
of the books I keep close to me. Its not a book you
can read front to back...well not without a lot of
coffee..heheh... but it does have some great sections on
various topics.
