An observation on the transitory nature of fluids in motion, this saying also describes the endless variations researchers face when studying human movement. Understanding these biodynamics why the wirewalker doesnt fall requires a grasp of the constant fluctuations and fine tunings which maintain balance in the complex, fluid system of human locomotion. Taking a comprehensive approach to the phenomenon of locomotion, Biodynamics: Why the Wirewalker Doesnt Fall integrates physical laws and principles with concepts of fractals, chaos, and randomness.; In so doing, it formulates a description of both the large-scale, smooth aspects of locomotion and the more minute, randomized mechanisms of this physiological process. Ideal for beginners in this subject, Biodynamics provides an elegant explanation without assuming the readers understanding of complex physical principles or mathematical equations. 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aDynamics 606 $aBiomechanics 606 $aBiomechanical Phenomena 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aBiological Science Disciplines 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aNatural Science Disciplines 606 $aDisciplines and Occupations 606 $aBiology$2HILCC 606 $aBiophysics$2HILCC 606 $aHealth & Biological Sciences$2HILCC 608 $aComputer network resources.$2local 608 $aElectronic books 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aBiomechanics. 615 12$aBiomechanical Phenomena 615 12$aBiophysics. 615 2$aPhysics 615 2$aBiological Science Disciplines 615 2$aBiophysics 615 2$aNatural Science Disciplines 615 2$aDisciplines and Occupations 615 7$aBiology 615 7$aBiophysics 615 7$aHealth & Biological Sciences 676 $a571.4 700 $aWest$b Bruce J$048667 701 $aGriffin$b Lori$0999322 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910146069903321 996 $aBiodynamics$92292910 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
