Biodynamics: Why the Wirewalker Doesn't Fall
ISBN: 978-0-471-34619-7
November 2003
480 pages
Taking a comprehensive approach to the phenomenon of locomotion, Biodynamics: Why the Wirewalker Doesn’t Fall integrates physical laws and principles with concepts of fractals, chaos, and randomness. In so doing, it formulates a description of both the large-scale, smooth aspects of locomotion and the more minute, randomized mechanisms of this physiological process.
Ideal for beginners in this subject, Biodynamics provides an elegant explanation without assuming the reader’s understanding of complex physical principles or mathematical equations. Chapter topics include:
Packed with problem sets, examples, and original line drawings, Biodynamics is an invaluable text for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors in medicine, biology, physiology, biophysics, and bioengineering.
