Strain Measurement in Biomechanics will provide a valuable reference source for all research workers in biomechanics and biomaterials as well as orthopaedic manufacturers and orthopaedic surgeons.

Bioceramics is a collection of papers that deals in bioactive ceramics, glasses, and composites, focusing on the optimization of the implant-tissue interface. One paper discusses the osteogenic response of rat bone marrow cells in porous alumina, in hydroxyapatite, and in Kiel bone. Marrow cells loaded alumina and HA ceramics show new bone formation; Kiel bone use does not point to any consistent osteogenesis. Another paper presents the potential of an injectable form of Bioglass to treat urinary incontinence. When injected, it remains at the injection site by bonding to soft tissues without degrading, migrating, or producing an inflammatory reaction. Another paper presents an in vitro method that has shown osteoclast-like cells can resorb artificial calcium phosphate substrata in vitro. The differences in bone bonding mechanisms between surface active ceramics and resorbable ceramics show some chemical bonding and direct contact with the bone. The book also presents some clinical uses of bioactive ceramics such as the successful artificial root therapeutics involving 219 artificial roots implanted in 63 patients. This book can prove valuable to bio-chemists, cellular biologists, micro-biologists, developmental biologists, and scientists involved in biomaterials research.

Little Macks Big Move originated in the experience of a move that my son and I made from Michigan to our current residence in Arizona. Seemingly oblivious to the chaos of the move, I could not help but wonder how much of the change he sensed or understood. This is the first in a series of character education story books about Little Mack as he navigates change and other challenges in life. It is my hope that parents are able to use this and other books in the Little Mack series to help their children navigate through lifes transitions and trials.
