Comparative Biomechanics

Life’s Physical World, Second Edition

Steven Vogel

Comparative Biomechanics is the first and only textbook that takes a comprehensive look at the mechanical aspects of life—covering animals and plants, structure and movement, and solids and fluids. An ideal entry point into the ways living creatures interact with their immediate physical world, this revised and updated edition examines how the forms and activities of animals and plants reflect the materials available to nature, considers rules for fluid flow and structural design, and explores how organisms contend with environmental forces. This book is useful for physical scientists and engineers seeking a guide to state-of-the-art biomechanics. For a wider audience, the textbook establishes the basic biological context for applied areas—including ergonomics, orthopedics, mechanical prosthetics, kinesiology, sports medicine, and biomimetics—and provides materials for exhibit designers at science museums.

• Problem sets at the ends of chapters

• Appendices cover basic background information

• Updated and expanded documentation and materials

• Revised figures and text

•Increased coverage of friction, viscoelastic materials, surface tension, diverse modes of locomotion, and biomimetics

Steven Vogel is James B. Duke Professor Emeritus of Biology at Duke University. His numerous books include Glimpses of Creatures in Their Physical Worlds (Princeton) and Cats’ Paws and Catapults (Norton).

Game Theory

An Introduction 

Steven Tadelis

Game Theory is the ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Throughout, concepts and methods are explained using real-world examples backed by precise analytic material. The book features many important applications to economics and political science, as well as numerous exercises that focus on how to formalize informal situations and then analyze them.

• Introduces the core ideas and applications of game theory

• Covers static and dynamic games, with complete and incomplete information

• Features a variety of examples, applications, and exercises

• Topics include repeated games, bargaining, auctions, signaling, reputation, and information transmission

• Ideal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students

• Complete solutions available to teachers and selected solutions available to students at press.princeton.edu

Steven Tadelis is associate professor and Barbara and Gerson Bakar Faculty Fellow at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, and a Distinguished Economist at eBay Research Labs.

Auner shows how the multiplicity of musical styles has challenged traditional assumptions about compositional practice, the boundaries of music and noise, and the relationship among composer, performer, and listener. He also shows how music has defined ideas of nation, race, and gender, and helped shape the modern world. A companion anthology with insightful commentaries and easy access to recordings make Music in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries a perfect option for your students. Flexible and affordable, the volume can be used on its own or in conjunction with other volumes of the new Western Music in Context series.
