DESCRIPTION:
The description for this book, Muscles, Reflexes, and Locomotion, will be forthcoming.
"Excellent book on how animal and human locomotion works." according to Warren J. Dew. This book presents its title subjects in a clear analytical style. While it is a textbook, it is quite accessible to the educated lay reader; the prose is nontechnical and can be easily understood without reference to the equations. The numerous diagrams are clear and aid understanding.The first five chapters describe the biochemistry and me. Classic but still holds its own! This text is a classic for understanding the mechanics of muscles and the movements they cause. From the mechanics of actin and myosin bridges to limbs as levers, it covers the full spectrum of mechanics in a technical but readable way. I had this as a textbook for a class in biomechanics that was excellent, I would recommend it to anyone wa. Beautiful book. Well written and still of current interest to researchers. The late Tom McMahon was a excellent lucid writer, and this monograph is fun to read while also being packed with information.
"This book is highly recommended to all those interested in muscle and animal movement. It is likely to be equally useful to students and to established research workers in biophysics, bioengineering, biology, and medicine."--Science
