      Plenty, depends if you want books,

      https://www.amazon.de/Real-Time-Rendering-Fourth-Tomas-Akeni...

      https://www.amazon.de/Physically-Based-Rendering-Theory-Impl...

      Or grab some online content instead,

      Naturally most of the stuff I linked to, doesn't use necessarily GLSL ES, however it is relatively easy to translate the concepts and ideas into it, given how most shading languages happen to be either a C or C++ based dialect.

      Ah, the OpenGL blue book that I never got around to buying.

      As opposed to the red book (reference guide)[1] and the orange book (shading language reference)[2] of which I got copies of the respective last versions before they merged into the newer "red-ish book" that combines both[3].

      Just in case you ever wondered where that one Lego picture in the Windows 3D maze screen saver came from (the cover of the red book).
