This textbook introduces the student to a consistent approach of formulating and solving problems involving the biomechanics of solids and fluids. Brief introductions are also provided for more complex situations that require methods of nonlinear elasticity, elastodynamics, viscoelasticity, or fluid-solid interactions. Concepts are motivated by concise descriptions of important biological, biomechanical, and clinical observations and techniques. Included are over 300 figures and 200 refere...

This book covers the fundamentals of biomechanics. Topics include bio solids, biofluids, stress, balance and equilibrium. Students are encouraged to contextualize principles and exercises within a “big picture” of biomechanics. This is an ideal book for undergraduate students with interests in biomedical engineering.

Origins and Redemption by Dr. Francis Humphrey hits the "sweet spot" for books discussing the creation versus evolution issue. Dr. Humphrey has written a book that is broad and deep - but not too deep. Deep enough that the scientific credibility of the Genesis account of creation as plainly read is clearly established and the implausibility of the evolutionary account is equally clearly established but not so deep as to be inaccessible to the average reader. Dr. Humphrey discusses the creatio...

Its the "Changing of the Guards"!Does God have a plan for the nations, and those who will lead the way? Of course He does, and when the "guards change" so does the rules of engagement.To change nations, cultures, and the way business is conducted, it all starts with a 21st Century Leader and Reformer. Men and women who pave the way for nations are kings and reformers of their day. La Vada D. Humphrey empowers agents of change as they shift and establish a footprint...

The Manual of Pulmonary Surgery has been designed primarily as a guide to the techniques of surgery on the lungs of adults and older children. The information included and the technical points stressed are those in which, in more than 20 years of teaching thoracic surgery, I have found residents to most commonly need instruction. An effort has been made to depict the usual anatomy of the lung and its more frequent variations, as it is encountered by the surgeon. This was necessary because ...

Secrecy, denial, and fear all contribute to the confusion surrounding addiction.

Would fear and denial encourage the secrecy that enables the addiction to continue out of control? Addiction does not discriminate. We can all be touched by its devastation.Last Call: A Family's Battle with Alcoholism takes us into the desperate world of a woman battling with al...

Humphrey W. Muciiri was taught by his parents that there was only one God who created the heavens and the earth. That God controlled everything. He was to be feared and obeyed. Humphrey had no clue how to obey God. Although characters such as Abraham, Moses, and David are considered great men of God, they disobeyed Him. Jesus Christ is the only human being who fully obeyed God and died to save humankind from eternal damnation. He became the model for humankind to emulate to live happily an...

Dad's behavior communicates a lot to his son.In traditional families, a son looks up to his dad as a model for his behavior. When a dad creates opportunities for free discussions with his son, the son grows up respecting and trusting him as his model. On the other hand, when a dad becomes authoritarian, lays down rules and regulations for his son without adequate and reasonable explanations or discussions, the son may resent it, feel alienated, and seek other avenues, albeit honora...
