I hoped to use this text to teach an introductory course in biomechanics to engineers. It seems that the majority of the material is discussing general mechanics (both solid and fluid) with complete derivations. Only at the end of each chapter is there a short section on how the subject relates to biology or medicine which is what a general engineering student may not have been exposed to. On the other hand, it goes into more detail than a biology student probably needs to know. In the end, I found the book Physics of the Human Body (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering) to be a much more well rounded text that seamlessly integrated physics and engineering with biology.
