Plant Biomechanics: An Engineering Approach to Plant Form and Function

In this first comprehensive treatment of plant biomechanics, Karl J. Download Plant Biomechanics: An Engineering Approach to Plant Form and Function from rapidshare, mediafire, 4shared. Niklas analyzes plant form and provides a far deeper understanding of how form is a response to basic physical laws. He examines the ways in which these laws constrain the organic expression of form, size, and growth in a variety of plant structures, and in plants as whole organisms, and he draws on the fossil record as well as on studies of extant species to present a genuinely evolutionary view of the response of plants to abiotic as well as biotic constraints. Well aware that some readers will need an introduction to basic biomechanics or to basic botany, Niklas provides both, as well as an extensive glossary, and he has included a number of original drawings and photographs to i Search and find a lot of engineering books in many category availabe for free download.
