Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book lifts the lid on the mechanical genius of nature's flying machines â" the birds. Full of captivating insights into the extraordinary mechanics of their anatomy, itâs a fascinating read for anyone interested in the secrets of avian flight. Beginning with the origins of ornithology, the author examines the pioneering work of Leonardo da Vinci and others, before delving into the anatomy of the bird. From wing structure and composition to the feather's incredible design, no detail is overlooked as the author unveils the intricate engineering that supports flight. The book then digs deeper into the subject, exploring the forces involved in flight, how birds achieve lift-off and change direction, and even the factors that allow some species to hover. Through accessible prose and clear diagrams, the author demystifies the mechanics of bird flight, making this book an ideal read for those looking to understand the natural world's marvels. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - De Motu animalium is sometimes referred to in the medical literature. But who has read it The book, originally published in Latin, seemingly constitutes the very first treatise on biomechanics. The author, Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (1608 - 1679), was professor of mathematics and physics in Pisa where he worked with Malpighi, who was professor of theoretical medicine and focused Borelli's interest on the movements of living creatures. This was the time of Galileo, Descartes, Newton and many others, when sciences exploded, sometimes leading to conflicts with religious authorities. De Motu animalium, Borelli's life work, has two parts. In the first part, he analyses the action of the muscles, the movements of the limbs and motions of man and animals, including skating, running, jumping, swimming and flying. The second part deals with what is now called physiology, considered from the point of view of a mechanist: heart beat, blood circulation, breathing, separation of urine from the blood in the kidneys, liver function, reproduction, fatigue, thirst, hunger, fever, and so on. This work shows Borelli to be a genial precursor. He expresses his opinion as a mathematician on problems which afterwards further stimulated the curiosity and endeavours of many generations of researchers. This book will be welcomed by anybody who is interested in the working of living bodies and in the history of human knowledge.…

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Ingaliso L.Soveria Mannelli, 2099; 2 voll., br., pp. 1196, cm 15,5x24.(CESPES. Fonti e studi). Il De motu animalium (1680-1681) è tra le opere più significative della scuola galileiana e rappresenta una perfetta sintesi tra il pensiero scientifico degli antichi, Archimede ed Euclide, e quello dei moderni, Harvey, Malpighi e Galilei. Questi volumi offrono al lettore italiano, per la prima volta, la traduzione integrale dell'opera, unitamente alla riproduzione delle diciotto tavole che 'raccontano' l'affascinante viaggio di Borelli nella complessa macchina animale. L'autore, grazie ai numerosissimi esperimenti realizzati nel corso di trent'anni, descrive i movimenti esterni (corsa, salto, nuoto, volo, ecc.) e quelli interni (circolazione del sangue, della bile, degli spiriti, ecc.), utilizzando le leggi della meccanica e della fluidodinamica. Alla fine di questo viaggio, lo sforzo di Borelli sembra volto ad affermare che i principi geometrico-matematici che governano il moto degli astri sono gli stessi che sovrintendono all'esistenza degli animali: la vita è una, come uniche sono le leggi che la governano.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. BORELLI, GIOVANNI A. (1608-79). De motu animalium. Leyden: Boutesteyn, Gaesbeeck, Vivie & Vander Aa, 1685. Bound with: De vi percussionis. Leyden: Vander Aa, 1686. Bound with: De motionibus naturalibus, a gravitate pendentibus. Leyden: Vander Aa, 1686. FIRST COLLECTED EDITION consisting of THREE second editions, that of 'De motu animalium' enlarged and corrected. Four volumes in one. Contemp. Dutch vellum. (16), 280, (18, index & errata); (4), 365, (15, index); (16), 262, (22, index); (4), 360, (51, index), (7, Vander Aa's cat.) pp. Engraved title for 'De motu animalium' and joint engraved title for 'De vi percussionis' & 'De motionibus naturalibus'. Printed titles for each volume and joint printed title for the paired physics books. Half-title to 'Pars prima' of 'De motu animalium'. Total of 38 folding engraved plates in fine impressions. One signature browned, lacking front fly-leaf, canceled library rubberstamps; a very good copy. The three masterworks of Giovanni Borelli jointly issued in a handsome and massive Leyden edition consists of the second edition enlarged and corrected of his classic 'De motu animalium' (first ed., Rome, 1680-81: G-M 762; Grolier/Science 100, no. 13; Heralds of Science 190; Lilly Notable Medical Books, p.91), and the second editions of his physics treatises, 'De vi percussionis' (first ed., Bologna, 1667) and 'De motionibus naturalibus' (first ed., Bologna 1670). The joint engraved and printed titles to the physics books make clear that these works were considered as essential introductions to 'De motu animalium' ('Introductiones & Illustrationes Physico-Mathematicae apprime necessariae ad opus ejus intelligendum.'). Often found separately, it is evident from the present volume, in contemporary Dutch vellum, that these three treatises in their second editions were intended as companion works. Borelli, a student of Galileo, was professor at Pisa and Rome, and a member of the Academia del Cimento. 'De motu animalium', his major treatise on muscle mechanics, was largely based on Galileo's mechanics. "He began with the center of motion, the muscle, and then applied its forces to the linkage of bones with the same exactness as forces applied to levers. This analysis evolved into a system describing an animal's entire mobility. He held that nerve stimulation was related to contraction and swelling of muscle and that some chemical process was associated with it. He also believed that heartbeat was a simple muscular contraction and that the circulatory system was hydraulic in principle." (Heralds of Science). Borelli's 'De vi percussionis' contains the discovery of the law of percussion of solids. In 'De motionibus naturalibus' the account of Borelli's experiments on capillarity performed while a member of the Academia del Cimento is the first on the subject. Wellcome II.204 - 1685 'De motu animalium' independently bound of the two 1686 physics books. Similarly for N.L.M. (17th C.) - nos. 1576 &1579.…
