Biomechanics aims to explain the mechanics oflife and living. It is a useful tool, a simple tool, a valuable tool, an unavoidable tool. In the first volume, Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues, the geometrical struc ture and the rheological properties of various materials, tissues, and organs are presented.
