Recensione

'... readers with an interest in skeletal form and function will gain new understanding of the possible roles of physical forces in skeletal tissue processes ... and will be drawn to wonder about the physical, biological, and evolutionary mechanisms responsive for skeletal tissue function and form.' Richard T. Hart, Journal of Biomechanics

'... this book is a comprehensive synopsis of the mechanobiology of the skeleton extended and updated with many rigorous analytical models ...' David Green, The Times Higher Education Supplement

'This excellent book is a comprehensive introduction to the study of the modulation of bone form and function by mechanical stimuli. This is an informative and enjoyable book ... A recommended read for graduate studies in biology and orthopaedics as well as for practising orthopaedic surgeons.' David Green, The Times Higher Education Supplement

'As a vertebrate palaeobiologist interested in animal design and function from a number of perspectives I was interested to read this book. Overall it is a masterly treatment of the subject ... has its place on library shelves and in the offices of genuine specialists.' Journal of the Geological Magazine

'... there is much that is interesting and thought-provoking in the book.' International Journal of Osteoarchaeology

Descrizione del libro

This book addresses the role of mechanical factors in the development, adaptation, maintenance, ageing, and repair of skeletal tissues such as bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The authors show how the normal development of skeletal tissues is influenced by mechanical stimulation beginning in the embryo and continuing throughout life into old age.
