Article number 10123639

Exploring Biomechanics: Animals in Motion by R. McNeill Alexander is a comprehensive introduction to the science of biomechanics, focusing on how animals move. The book explores the physical principles underlying locomotion—walking, running, flying, and swimming—and explains how muscles, skeletons, and energy interact to produce motion. With clear explanations and vivid illustrations, Alexander shows how biomechanics connects biology with physics and engineering, revealing both the elegance and efficiency of movement in the animal kingdom.
