About the book
The intimate relationship between form and function inherent in the design of animals is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the musculoskeletal system. In the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of all vertebrates there is a graceful and efficient physical order. This book is about how function determines form. It addresses the role of mechanical factors in the development, adaptation, maintenance, aging and repair of skeletal tissues. The authors refer to this process as mechanobiology and develop their theme within an evolutionary framework. -- from Back Cover.
