Description: Comparative Biomechanics : Life's Physical World, Hardcover by Vogel, Steven, ISBN 0691155666, ISBN-13 9780691155661, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US Aimed at biology students with only introductory background in physics, this biomechanics textbook from Vogel (biology, Duke U.) starts by reviewing basic physics and emphasizing its relevance to intuitive questions about naked-eye-observable phenomena. The bulk of the technical material is divided between two sections on fluids and solids, respectively. Each section builds from simple physics to discussion of organismal movements such as circulation, flying, swimming, breathing, erectile function, and ambulation. A final chapter discusses further directions for thinking about biomechanical evolution and analysis. Also included are several appendices giving additional physics and math review.
