Editorial Reviews



Review



From the reviews:



"This book represents a very ambitious undertaking of providing, in a
single volume, a comprehensive exposition of the kinematics and
dynamics governing the motion of the human body as well as a complete
course of general mechanics. The author has been remarkably successful
in achieving both objectives. He has produced a very accessible text
without sacrificing the accuracy of arguments and avoiding undue
simplifications of the problems. The book should prove to be a great
value to the practitioners in orthopedics, sports medicine and
bioengineering research. University students interested in careers in
medicine or bioengineering may find it an interesting alternative to
the standard courses in mechanics." Maciej P. Bieniek, Renwick
Professor Emeritus of Engineering Mechanics, Columbia University



"Human Body Dynamics is a remarkable book. A concise, comprehensive,
well-written and well-illustrated first chapter gives a necessary
introduction to the anatomy of the human body. In the following
chapters human body dynamics is explored using the principles of
classical mechanics. The concluding chapter deals with the methods of
three-dimensional mechanics. With these powerful tools, a myriad of
very interesting problems are solved. This, I would say is the dessert
of the feast." H. Buelent Atabek, Professor Emeritus of Biomedical
Engineering, Catholic University of America
