Recenzii

Welcomed by everyone who wants to know about the materials hidden below the glossy finish of modern equipment - Nature; Easterling writes for lay readers in sports medicine, design or materials - Reference & Research Book News; A seminal theme throughout, and one understated by the title, is the importance of effective interaction between materials science, design, and bioengineering in producing these items of equipment...provides an interesting and entertaining introductory read...an enjoyable and worthwhile book, particularly in its emphasis on the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to design - Materials World; From initial functionality concepts through design, manufacture and testing the reader is gently led through each of the stages in a most readable and enjoyable fashion...For those involved in education it provides a number of case studies which should prove to be welcome distractions from the usually analytical design problems. For others it is a good and interesting read - Composite Structures
