Good = POOR CONDITION by C. Fiorenzo  1 Stars
September 28, 2008
I was really disappointed when I got my book in the mail. I realize that paperbacks do not last as long as hard cover, but the cover was not in "good" condition and there was writing all over the inside of my book. In pen and not neat at all. If I would have know what "good" means, I would have not bought this book, especially when I could have gotten a nicer book from the book store for the same price. :(

Not worth it! by Halley (Missoula, Montana) 1 Stars
March 02, 2008
The math in this book is NOT explained well, and not all of the answers are given. Let's not forget either that HOW to get the answers are not given. This book is less than adequate to learn important information for your future career and more than useless! And seriously, I've never taken math over Algebra (because I don't need it) and this book is WAY over my head. No explanations what-so-ever. Don't waste your time.
It does however help to have a professor who can actually teach the class, especially the math. I have neither!

Biomechanics for Biomedical Engineering Freshman by Wan Abu Bakar Wan Abas, Prof. Dr. (Kuala Lumpur Malaysia)  5 Stars
February 08, 2001
The book covers both the anatomy and the mechanics of the human body. The mechanics is rather basic but suitable for undergaduates who have not taken a proper course in engineering mechanics. The materials on anatomy are well presented. The book gives a good introduction of the application of engineering mechanics to the analysis of the human body mechanical systems. I have recommended this as a text for my first year (second semester) biomedical engineering students. Very suitable for students who have followed a basic course in anatomy and high school mathematics.

Useful in occupational medicine, ergonomics and orthopedics by carlos alberto coelho santiago (S. Paulo, Brazil)  4 Stars
June 07, 2000
This work is more related to sport medicine. Nevertheless, this detailed study in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology and trauma makes it very useful to occupational physicians and orthopedists, since it allows a better understanding of ergonomics and musculoskeletal injuries, including the overuse ones. The pictures are plentiful and quite elucidative.
