Flow, Deformation and FractureLectures on Fluid Mechanics and the Mechanics of Deformable Solids for Mathematicians and PhysicistsGrigory Isaakovich BarenblattUniversity of California, Berkeley
An outstanding resource for every teacher and student of the mechanics of continuous media. The author’s unique approach, using the concept of intermediate asymptotics, has been tried and tested over a period of forty years teaching the subject in Russia, Europe and America.
‘Now those not fortunate enough to have been able to attend the course have the opportunity to see what has made it so special. The present book is a masterful exposition of fluid and solid mechanics, informed by the ideas of scaling and intermediate asymptotics, a methodology and point of view of which Professor Barenblatt is one of the originators ... This is indeed a remarkable book.’Alexandre J. Chorin, from the Foreword

Biological Materials ScienceBiological Materials, Bioinspired Materials, and BiomaterialsMarc André MeyersUniversity of California, San Diego
and Po-Yu ChenNational Tsing Hua University, Taiwan
Taking a materials science approach, this book correlates structure-property relationships with function across a range of biological materials. Biopolymers, bioelastomers, forms, and ceramic composites are covered, and basic concepts are applied to biomimetics. Solved examples and end-of-chapter exercises are provided in the book, with solutions and PowerPoint figures available online.Contents: Part I. Basic Biology Principles; Part II. Biological Materials; Part III. Bioinspired Materials and Biomimetics.
‘The union of the physical and biological sciences is in many respects one of the most exciting yet challenging aspects of scientific endeavor today. Nowhere is this more in evidence than in the area of biological materials science and engineering where many materials scientists struggle with the complex puzzle of biological form and function while biologists in turn have to deal with the invariably highly quantitative nature of the physical sciences and engineering. With this book, Meyers and Chen have delivered a true tour de force which takes the reader in clear and precise text from cells to virus-produced Li-ion batteries. This book is a must read for undergraduates,
graduates and researchers alike in the rapidly expanding fields of biological, bioinspired and biomaterials science.’Robert Ritchie, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Essential Biomaterials ScienceDavid WilliamsWake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine
This groundbreaking single-authored textbook equips students with everything they need to know about biomaterials science, including essential background and theory, comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of existing biomaterials, and industry insights. Contains extensive interweaved case studies, informative glossaries and engaging exercises. An indispensable resource for students of biomaterials science and engineering.
‘This is the long overdue single-author compendium students, scientists and clinicians were waiting for. Anyone expecting a dry scientific compilation will be pleasantly surprised by the wonderfully lively style in which Professor Williams takes the reader on an exciting journey into the world of modern biomaterials and the opportunities it offers to patients. In a field long plagued by self-sustained paradigms, wrong models, and wrong questions, this book boldly introduces each chapter on the basis of true clinical needs, taking the captivated reader into the deepest depths of materials science and biology and eventually leaving him in a position where his own understanding and judgment has undergone a quantum leap.’Peter Zilla, University of Cape Town
