Simple Wisdom
National Book Award nominated author, Daniel J. Schneck treats us here to his 22nd book, Simple Wisdom: Alphabetical Reflections on the Nature of the Human Experience. Highly acclaimed for his thought-provoking writing and unique ability to "change people's lives through your shared words," Dr. Schneck's unique insights into the nature of the human experience have been called "inspiring and enlightening;" and his writing style "easy and fun to read." One of the many fans of his work aptly summarized it by saying, "Every time something bad happens to me, I read one of your articles and suddenly things don't seem so bad anymore. I am encouraged to move on." The true Renaissance Man ... pursuin...
Mechanics of Muscle
First published in 1985, the revised edition of this text consists of seven chapters describing the muscle, its anatomy, its mechanics, and its chemical and neuro-control systems. It documents empirical, analytical, and experimental analyses and equations in the field of muscle mechanics.
The Music Effect
This book explains what 'music' is, how it is processed by and affects the body, and how it can be applied in a range of physiological and psychological conditions. Rhythm, melody, timbre, harmony, dynamics, form, and their effects are explored, helping practitioners create effective therapy interventions that complement other treatment systems.
Biofluid Mechanics · 2
The Department of Engineering Science and Hechanics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University spon sored the First Mid-Atlantic Conference on Bio-Fluid Mechanics, which was held in Blacksburg, Virginia during the period 9-11 August 1978. Some 40 life-scientists, engineers, physicians and others who share a common interest in the advancement of basic and applied knowledge in bio fluid mechanics gathered at the Donaldson Brown Center for Continuing Education to hear 25 papers presented in seven technical sessions. At the conclusion of the conference, those present decided unanimously that its success warranted having at least one more -- and that it was conceptually a sound idea t...
Omniology
This book examines the fundamental basis of 'reality,' in all of its manifested forms, whether or not experienced by humans. Explored are what there is to know; what it is we are capable of knowing; what makes such knowing possible (theoretically, technologically, anatomically, physiologically, etc.) … and … perhaps more interestingly, clearly identified are what it is we are not capable of knowing: why we can never know these things, and what this inability means in terms of how we perceive the world around us in all of its various forms. These include physical, chemical, political, social, economic, religious, cultural, and other manifestations of “reality” -- all of which, as is s...
Anni's Cancer Companion
When Anni Matthews was diagnosed with cancer, she decided to do something really valuable with the experience: she produced a book that is a friendly companion for those who must face the disease. Of huge practical help to anyone diagnosed with cancer and those who care for them, this book is a one-stop guide to making sense and use of the orthodox treatments, complementary therapies, and psychological, spiritual and holistic options available. Subjects ranging from the most current major advances in treatments and diagnosis to the small but effective ways of relieving the side-effects are explained clearly and concisely, often with humour and always with warmth. Written by a bright, articulate woman, who was determined to have an informed say in what happened to her, Anni's Cancer Companion marks a new generation of books about cancer. It is that rare thing: a reference book that is human.
Biomedical Engineering Handbook
Category Biomedical Engineering Subcategory Contact Editor: Stern
Tissue Engineering
A volume in the new Principles and Applications in Engineering series, Tissue Engineering provides an overview of the major physiologic systems of current interest to biomedical engineers: cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous, visual, auditory, gastrointestinal, and respiratory. It contains useful definitions, tables of basic physiologic data, and an introduction to the literature. Then, the book reviews the status of tissue engineering of specific organs, including bone marrow, skeletal muscle, and cartilage. Readers will acquire a good understanding of the engineering and cell biological fundamentals of tissue engineering and will develop ideas for further development of this emerging and important field.
Clinical Engineering
A volume in the Principles and Applications in Engineering series, Clinical Engineering focuses on managing the deployment of medical technology and integrating it appropriately with desired clinical practices. It provides a description of the wide range of responsibilities clinical engineers encounter, describes technology management and assessment in detail, and reviews the standards and regulatory agencies of interest. Then the book details various biomedical sensors, considering both biologic and electronic factors in sensor performance. Finally, the book covers bioinstrumentation, addressing traditional topics and recently developed instruments and devices such as pulse oximeters and home-care monitoring devices.
Biotechnology for Biomedical Engineers
With the advent of recombinant DNA technology, monoclonal antibody technology, and new technologies for studying and handling cells and tissues, the field of biotechnology has undergone a tremendous resurgence in a wide range of applications pertinent to industry, medicine, and science in general.
