Life in Moving Fluids: The Physical Biology of Flow (Princeton Paperbacks)
"Vogel ... has a deep knowledge of hydrodynamics and knows how to teach the subject. Many phenomena are explained more clearly in his book than in common fluid dynamic texts.... Beautifully produced."--Jerry Gollub,Physics Today"This edition includes more of everything: more physical concepts, more biological examples, more sources for additional information.... Vogel finds a way to make sense of even the least intuitive concepts."--Mike May,American ScientistPraise for the previous edition: "Required reading for students of biology at all levels of career development."--Paul W. Webb,Science"For biologists who want to come to the beginning of a quantitative understanding of a wide variety of adaptations, for general readers who want to see how fluid mechanics works in a varied and often surprising context ... this book, full of data, rich in up-to-date and well-appraised references, is a first-class opportunity."--Philip Morrison,Scientific American
