This title discusses the study of evolution through the analysis of biomechanical systems. Instead of reviewing the entire breadth of the biomechanical literature, a few key examples are explored in depth as vehicles for discussing fundamental concepts, analytical techniques, an…
A textbook for a one-semester course for senior undergraduates and beginning graduates with an interest in biophysics. Appendices summarize background material in physics and in biology for students coming from the other direction. The focus is on equilibrium properties of cells…
Now in its sixth edition, the approach remains the same - each section of the body is presented systematically where readers are introduced to the bones, then guided through the muscles, joints, nervous system and blood supply. Anatomy of the musculoskeletal system is brought to…
