Details

Keywords: Medical physics. ; Electronic books.

Description / Table of Contents: Appropriate for senior undergraduates and graduates, this text presents the underlying physics, electronics, anatomy, and physiology as well as addresses practical applications. The structured approach of the text builds and broadens the material of opening chapters in the later chapters. The book covers biomechanics, image formation techniques, biomedical devices, physiological signals and responses, and respiratory and cardiovascular function and measurement. It includes chapter problems with short questions to test understanding of the main principles and longer questions to test more in-depth knowledge, along with detailed bibliographies that provide references to introductory texts and research materials.

Until Darwin, Science, Human Variety and the Origins of Race. (2010)

Brown, B. Ricardo.

Oxford :Taylor & Francis Group,

add to mindlist on the mindlist

Details

Keywords: Human evolution--History. ; Electronic books.

Description / Table of Contents: This work fills a gap in recent studies on the history of race and science. Focusing on both the classification systems of human variety and the development of science as the arbiter of truth, Brown looks at the rise of the emerging sciences of life and society - biology and sociology - as well as the debate surrounding slavery and abolition.
