**Biomechanics: Motion, Flow, Stress, and Growth** by Y.C. Fung is a comprehensive treatise that explores the mechanical principles governing living systems. The book is divided into three volumes, with this volume focusing on the motion of man and animals, internal and external fluid flow, stress distribution, and the relationship between stress and growth. It begins with an introduction to Newton's laws of motion and basic equations of solid and fluid mechanics, followed by detailed discussions on segmental movement, vibrations, external and internal flow, and the mechanics of blood flow in various organs. The book also delves into the biological effects of stress and strain, including the strength of tissues and organs, trauma, and the phenomena of growth and resorption. The author emphasizes the engineering approach to biomechanics, using methods such as Lagrange's equations to analyze complex systems. The book aims to provide a foundational understanding of biomechanics, suitable for both students and professionals in biology and engineering.**Biomechanics: Motion, Flow, Stress, and Growth** by Y.C.
