Review

'any book which makes the methods of biomechanics more accessible is welcome: it will be particularly useful for undergraduate research projects or postgraduates at the start of their research'
Times Higher Education Supplement

'it is a fascinating, useful and inspirational text'
J. Vincent, Biologist (1993)

'there are many extremely helpful passages'
R. McNeill Alexander, Experimental Physiology (1993) 78

`both timely and welcome ... this new book fills an important niche: it is a compendium of practical information covering fluid and solid mechanics and related physiological areas ... it succeeds rather well at its appointed task of introducing researchers to the practical aspects of doing
biomechanics. I highly recommend this book as a starting point for anyone (especially graduate students) interested in adding biomechanical techniques to their research.'
David E. Alexander, University of Kansas, Animal Behaviour 46, 1993
