About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"Their book is a valuable addition to the literature on the micromechanics of very thin films … . The discussion is exceedingly well organized and well illustrated; many examples are provided from biological systems … . Overall, the authors have succeeded admirably in providing and informative and thorough text, the publisher has produced an attractive book, and readers will find much material of interest … . I recommend it to anyone who works in the area of micromechanics of friction and lubrication." (Howard A. Stone, Physics Today, June, 2002)
