  • Biology and the Mechanics of the Wave-Swept Environment
    Mark Denny
    This text introduces and draws together pertinent aspects of fluid dynamics, physical oceanography, solid mechanics, and organismal biology to provide a much-needed set of tools for quantitatively examining the biological effects of ocean waves. 'Nowhere on earth does water move as violently as on wave-swept coasts,' writes the author, 'and every breaker that comes pounding on ...

Even before physicists worked that one out, military engineers had been tinkering with ballistic devices for centuries. The trebuchet of the Middle Ages has given way to rocket power, and the science of ballistics has evolved to match the technology. Mark Denny...

Traditionally, biologists have viewed the inevitable 'noise' of life as an unfortunate complication. The authors of this book, however, treat random processes as a benefit. In this introduction to chance in biology, Mark Denny and Steven Gaines ...

  • Air and Water
    Mark Denny
    Addressing general readers and biologists, Mark Denny shows how the physics of fluids (in this case, air and water) influences the often fantastic ways in which life forms adapt themselves to their terrestrial or aquatic 'media.' ...
