Krishna Garikipati,Ellen M Arruda: Iutam Symposium on Cellular, Molecular and Tissue Mechanics

Iutam Symposium on Cellular, Molecular and Tissue Mechanics


Description

These Proceedings reflect the state of current understanding of the role played by mechanics in biological systems at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels. The invited papers will be notable for the expressed viewpoints of biologists, biophysicists and mechanicians. The topics addressed will range from tissue engineering and tissue mechanics, through cell mechanics, down to the mechanics of biomolecules.

Expert writing advice from the editor of the Boston Globe best-seller, The Writer's Home Companion Don't let the title fool you. this IS a serious, thoughtful (and thought-provoking) comprehensive introduction to, and examination of, a much Schaum's Easy Outline of Applied Physics, Revised Edition download ebook misunderstood and misused practice. But more than that, it is a witty, provocative, damn fine read, with as much to offer to the faithfully monogamous as to those looking for a bit more out of life, love and relationships. Go on. Dive in. "Wendy-O tackles a touchy subject with clarity and creativity. She is wise beyond her years. This guide teaches you how you can have it all. I gave the jealousy tips to my lover immediately." [Annie Sprinkle] You've probably seen it before: a human brain dramatically lit from the side, the camera circling it like a helicopter shot of Stonehenge, and a modulated baritone voice exalting the brain's elegant design in reverent tones.To which this book says: Pure nonsense. In a work at once deeply learned and wonderfully accessible, the neuroscientist David Linden counters the widespread assumption that the brain is a paragon of design--and in its place gives us a compelling explanation of how the brain's serendipitous evolution has resulted in nothing short of our humanity. A guide to the strange and often illogical world of neural function, "The Accidental Mind" shows how the brain is not an optimized, general-purpose problem-solving machine, but rather a weird agglomeration of ad-hoc solutions that have been piled on through millions of years of evolutionary history. Moreover, Linden tells us how the constraints of evolved brain design have ultimately led to almost every transcendent human foible: our long childhoods, our extensive memory capacity, our search for love and long-term relationships, our need to create compelling narrative, and, ultimately, the universal cultural impulse to create both religious and scientific explanations. With forays into evolutionary biology, this analysis of mental function answers some of our most common questions about how we've come to be who we are.
