Further Understanding of the Human Machine: The Road to Bioengineering (Series on Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering: Volume 7) - Hardcover
Synopsis
What is bioengineering all about? How will it impact the future? Can it find the cure for diabetes and other chronic diseases? A long-awaited continuation of the 2004 book, Understanding the Human Machine: A Primer for Bioengineering, this volume intends to address these questions and more.
Written together with 18 scientists active in the field, Max E. Valentinuzzi brings his decades of teaching bioengineering and physiology at the undergraduate and graduate levels to readers, giving a profound, and sometimes philosophical, insight into the realm of bioengineering.

Review
The book can be happily and productively used by students to learn basics and by practicing biomedical engineers to refresh knowledge. Both types of users would be amply rewarded in following this book ... Overall, a very worthwhile addition to the biomedical engineering literature. Or perhaps as a starter volume to a personal library or as a special gift to a student or friend. --Wald BioMed. Engi. OnLine

A long-awaited continuation of the 2004 book, Understanding the Human Machine: A Primer for Bioengineering, this volume addresses these questions and more.

About the prior owner: From the library of Roger Guillemin (1924-2024), a French-American neuroscientist, who joined the Salk Institute in 1970 at the invitation of Jonas Salk. In separate research laboratories, Guillemin and neuroscientist Andrew Schally (1926-2024) discovered the structures of Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). They were jointly awarded the 1977 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this discovery. In addition, Guillemin received awards from the National Academy of Sciences, 1974; the Canada Gairdner International Award, 1974; the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Research, 1975; the Dickson Prize in Medicine, 1976; the Passano Award in Medical Sciences, 1976; the National Medal of Science, 1976; and from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 1977.
