From Book News, Inc.
New edition of a handbook that summarizes the current understanding of bone mechanics and reflects the extraordinary progress in the field, such as advances on the mechanical properties (most notably of cancellous bone) which reflect the importance of fluid movement in bone tissue. Cowin (The City College of New York) presents 36 contributions that discuss basic biology, techniques from mechanics and imaging, mechanical and architectural properties of bone, flow of fluids in bone, bone adaptation, and clinically related issues.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
Book Description
This second edition of the Bone Mechanics Handbook summarizes the current understanding of bone mechanics with comprehensive coverage of the histology, physiology, and the cell and molecular biology of the bone. It is updated with the most recent advances on mechanical properties of the bone, most notably of cancellous bone, and the streaming potentials in the bone, which reflect the realization of the importance of fluid movement in bone tissue.
