Book Reviews of An Introduction to Biomechanics: Solids and Fluids, Analysis and Design

Book Review: Lots of mechanics, not much biology
Summary: 3 Stars

I hoped to use this text to teach an introductory course in biomechanics to engineers. It seems that the majority of the material is discussing general mechanics (both solid and fluid) with complete derivations. Only at the end of each chapter is there a short section on how the subject relates to biology or medicine which is what a general engineering student may not have been exposed to. On the other hand, it goes into more detail than a biology student probably needs to know. In the end, I found the book Physics of the Human Body (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering) to be a much more well rounded text that seamlessly integrated physics and engineering with biology.

Summary of An Introduction to Biomechanics: Solids and Fluids, Analysis and Design

Designed to meet the needs of undergraduate students, Introduction to Biomechanics takes the fresh approach of combining the viewpoints of both a well-respected teacher and a successful student. With an eye toward practicality without loss of depth of instruction, this book seeks to explain the fundamental concepts of biomechanics. With the accompanying web site providing models, sample problems, review questions and more, Introduction to Biomechanics provides students with the full range of instructional material for this complex and dynamic field.
