Subject: general references about geometry optimisation

Dear Netters,

I'm looking for general articles (or books) explaining the basic 
principles involved in geometry optimization algorithms and dealing
with the differences between them, i.e. why such algorithm should 
better be used in one case than an other one.
I'm particularly interested in these three methods:
(for the Hessian update)
  Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno
  Broyden-Powell
  Meyer

Please NO MATHEMATICAL references!!

Thanks in advance.

 I'll send a summary.
