商品描述
Animal Locomotion: Physical Principles and Adaptations is a professional-level, state of the art review and reference summarizing the current understanding of macroscopic metazoan animal movement. The comparative biophysics, biomechanics and bioengineering of swimming, flying and terrestrial locomotion are placed in contemporary frameworks of biodiversity, evolutionary process, and modern research methods, including mathematical analysis. The intended primary audience is advanced-level students and researchers primarily interested in and trained in mathematics, physical sciences and engineering. Although not encyclopedic in its coverage, anyone interested in organismal biology, functional morphology, organ systems and ecological physiology, physiological ecology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and systems biology should find this book useful.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《動物運動：物理原理與適應》是一本專業級的前沿回顧與參考書，總結了對於宏觀多細胞動物運動的當前理解。游泳、飛行和陸地運動的比較生物物理學、生物力學和生物工程學被置於當代生物多樣性、演化過程和現代研究方法（包括數學分析）的框架中。這本書的主要讀者是對數學、物理科學和工程有興趣並受過訓練的高級學生和研究人員。雖然本書的內容並非百科全書式的全面覆蓋，但任何對生物學、功能形態學、器官系統、生態生理學、生理生態學、分子生物學、分子遺傳學和系統生物學感興趣的人都應該會發現這本書有用。
作者簡介
Malcolm S. Gordon is Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Univ of California Los Angeles. His research focus on functional morphology, biomechanics, kinematics, and hydrodynamics of swimming in fishes using different methods of locomotion. Reinhard Blickhan is Professor in Sport Science at Friedrich Schiller University, Jena. John O. Dabiri is a professor in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty in 2015, he was Professor of Aeronautics and Bioengineering at Caltech, where he also served as Chairman of the Faculty and Dean of Undergraduate Students. His research focuses on science and technology at the intersection of fluid mechanics, energy and environment, and biology. Recent honors for this work include a MacArthur Fellowship, an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, and a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Popular Science magazine named him one of its "Brilliant 10" scientists in 2008. For his research in bio-inspired wind energy, Bloomberg Businessweek magazine listed him among its Technology Innovators in 2012, and MIT Technology Review magazine named him one of its 35 innovators under 35 in 2013. In 2014, he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society. John J. Videler is Emeritus Professor at Leiden University & Groningen University
