Summary:

This book is essential reading for those interested in understandingcurrent trends of research in the area of biomechanics at micro- andnanoscale levels. It details the research carried out to date in thisfield by fourteen prominent researchers as part of a four-yeargovernment supported project which commenced in 2003.
