Both a landmark text and reference book, Steven Vogel's Life in Moving
Fluids has also played a catalytic role in research involving the
applications of fluid mechanics to biology. In this revised edition,
Vogel continues to combine humor and clear explanations as he
addresses biologists and general readers interested in biological
fluid mechanics, offering updates on the field over the last dozen
years and expanding the coverage of the biological literature. His
discussion of the relationship between fluid flow and biological
design now includes sections on jet propulsion, biological pumps,
swimming, blood flow, and surface waves, and on acceleration reaction
and Murray’s law. This edition contains an extensive bibliography
for readers interested in designing their own experiments.
