For the professional biologist, Axis and Circumference presents a fresh and original thesis that will inspire and challenge experts to reconsider the role of mechanical thinking in paleontology and devolpmental biology. For students, this book will provide an integrated approach to the fundamental mechanical prinicples of functional morphology.

This book deals with an interface between mechanical engineering and biology. Available for the first time in paperback, it reviews biological structural materials and systems and their mechanically important features and demonstrates that function at any particular level of biological integration is permitted and controlled by structure at lower levels of integration. Five chapters discuss the properties of materials in general and those of biomaterials in particular. The authors examine the design of skeletal elements and discuss animal and plant systems in terms of mechanical design. In a concluding chapter they investigate organisms in their environments and the insights gained from study of the mechanical aspects of their lives.
