Customer Reviews

a great help

This class, Biomechanics, was the hardest class I took in college, yet somehow ended-up being my favorite. The professor was really cool,and always helpful, which I really appreciated. I sold this wonderful textbook at the end of the class, but I wish I hadn't. I highly recommend this book by Peter McGinnis. In fact, I'd like to meet him sometime!

UGH, Biomechanics

The subject of biomechanics is DIFFICULT. The book was helpful in assisting with learning the subject matter. I would have liked to see more questions/answers for the first few chapters that dealt with math/alegra/geometry. Future Biomechanic students, good luck on this subject. The book will be helpful.

Bio book

Easy to follow. Starts off easy and adjusts with a learning curve for all interesting in different aspects of Biomechanics.

Great Biomechanics Text!

This book is very accessable, which was obviously one of the goals of the author.Read it slowly and carefully and you will undoubtedly aquire some of the understanding necessary to consider human movement in terms of natural mechanics.
