Basic Biology. Techniques from Mechanics and Imaging. Mechanical and Architectural Properties of Bone. Flow of Fluids in Bone. Bone Adaptation, Clinically Related Issues.
"…Dr. Cowin, to his great credit, has certainly utilized a wide
angle lens this time. The book has grown dramatically…I found this
work to be a very valuable addition to the research literature in
bone mechanics. The editor and contributors are to be heartily
congratulated. I would strongly recommend its addition to both
personal and institutional libraries. I am particularly
enthusiastic that the distinction between mechanics and biology has
been blurred with the realization that the former cannot be fully
appreciated without consideration of the latter…The goal of the
updated edition was to capture the state-of-the-art in
bone-mechanics research, which has been achieved with outstanding
success."

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University,
California, in Journal of Biomechanics
"The original version of Bone Mechanics was one of the most
valuable resources for scientists and engineers working in skeletal
mechanics. Since the publication of the previous book in 1989, the
field of skeletal mechanics has expanded enormously. In the new
edition, Stephen Cowin has captured this expansion and included
many new and exciting topics. Advanced mechanics and the
integration of bone mechanics with cell biology, genetics, imaging,
and adaptation are covered in a thorough and up to date manner.
Chapters are written by leaders in the various fields. This new
edition of Bone Mechanics will prove to be a tremendous resource
for both educators and researchers."

Professor, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York,

"Dr. Cowin has assembled an outstanding field of contributors to
this volume…truly leaders in their respective fields…The volume
itself is as impressive as its contributors are…As a practicing
orthopaedic surgeon as well as a bone researcher, this text will be
an irreplaceable addition to my library…"
-Mathias P.G. Bostrom, M.D., Hospital for Special Surgery, New
York, New York, USA
"This is an outstanding publication that provides up-to-date data
on bone structure and function. The information presented in this
book is a review of hundreds of published papers and articles. In
my opinion this book will be of great benefit to researchers,
residents, and physicians interested in bone research and bone
disease…3 Stars."
