Extensively revised from a successful first edition, this book features a wealth of clear illustrations, numerous worked examples, and many problem sets. It provides the quantitative perspective missing from more descriptive texts, without requiring an advanced background in mathematics, and as such will be welcomed for use in courses such as biomechanics and orthopedics, rehabilitation and industrial engineering, and occupational or sports medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best overview of biomechanics, period.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Biomechanics: Equilibrium, Motion, and Deformation (Hardcover)
This textbook provides a very comprehensive exploration of the basic fundamentals of biomechanics. It is an excellent overview of force vector, moment and torque, statics, deformable body mechanics, stress and strain, dynamics, kinetics, kinematics, and impulse and momentum. It even provides a review of the mathematics required for understanding the many concepts introduced in the book. Each chapter has examples of the principles introduced and practice exercises. As a biomechanist, I own many textbooks on biomechanics, many of which concentrate on just one of the many areas covered so concisely in this book. To me, this would be the best teaching textbook currently available.

By Madeleine Eve "maevha" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Biomechanics: Equilibrium, Motion, and Deformation (Hardcover)
This book is to the point, easy to understand and a good addition to a library for anyone interested in biomechanics. It is simple without becoming too simple and the examples are well thought out.
