Reviews
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
“This is the fourth edition of a multiauthored book that reviews the history of biomechanics as related to injury and provides an introduction for engineers and clinicians desiring a background in this area. … Clinicians with an interest in the science of injury and protective technology or engineers engaged in this area are an appropriate audience. … This edition has been expanded to include important material on blast and ballistic injury.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2014)Authors and Affiliations
