More about the book
The textbook delves into the mechanical aspects of life, examining how animals and plants interact with their physical environment. It discusses the influence of available materials on form and function, exploring fluid dynamics, structural design, and organismal responses to environmental forces. The author, Steven Vogel, analyzes various modes of locomotion, circulatory systems, and the unique properties of biological materials, linking them to their mechanical roles. The book also includes introductory chapters on physical variables and problem sets for practical application.
