Recenzje

'Biomechanics: Concepts and Computation remains one of the strongest textbooks ever written in the field of biomechanical education. The theory in the book is thorough and rigorous, and is extremely well illustrated with numerous excellent exercises. I find the chapters describing numerical implementation and finite element formulations especially useful for translating the theory of tissue mechanics to bioengineering practice. I am using this book routinely in my undergraduate and graduate courses and will continue to do so with this second edition.' Amit Gefen, Tel Aviv University, Israel
