How mechanics shaped the modern worlda contextual introduction to concepts and applications /[electronic resource] :by David H. Allen. - Second edition. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xxiii, 464 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1 Mechanics and Our Ancestors -- Chapter 2 The Greeks -- Chapter 3 The Romans -- Chapter 4 Mechanics in the Middle Ages -- Chapter 5 The Artistic Renaissance -- Chapter 6 Finding Our Way -- Chapter 7 Mechanics Reborn -- Chapter 8 Music and Measuring -- Chapter 9 Continuum Mechanics, Art and Structures -- Chapter 10 Weather -- Chapter 11 Life Cycles -- Chapter 12 The Quality of Our Lives -- Chapter 13 Mechanics Today -- Chapter 14 Relativity -- Chapter 15 Quantum Mechanics -- Chapter 16 Bio mechanics -- Chapter 17 The Future of Mechanics.

This updated and augmented second edition covers the history of mechanics in such a way as to explain how this all-important discipline shaped our world. Like the first edition, Dr. Allen presents the material in an engaging, accessible manner, with many historic insights and thorough explanations of attending concepts. The text retains its coverage of classical mechanics, essentially Newtonian mechanics, and adds chapters on three additional topics that go well beyond classical mechanics: relativity, quantum/nanomechanics, and biomechanics. Contextualizes mechanics from the ancients, through Newton, and up to 21st Century nanotechnology Explains how these new developments in mechanics will continue to alter our world Appropriate for undergraduate students and faculty as well as lay readers interested in physics and engineering.
