Cambridge University Press Mechanics of the Cell
Book SynopsisExploring the mechanical features of biological cells, including their architecture and stability, this textbook is a pedagogical introduction to the interdisciplinary fields of cell mechanics and soft matter physics from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. This second edition has been greatly updated and expanded, with new chapters on complex filaments, the cell division cycle, the mechanisms of control and organization in the cell, and fluctuation phenomena. The textbook is now in full color which enhances the diagrams and allows the inclusion of new microscopy images. With around 280 end-of-chapter exercises exploring further applications, this textbook is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics and biomedical engineering. A website hosted by the author contains extra support material, diagrams and lecture notes, and is available at www.cambridge.org/Boal.Trade ReviewReviews of the first edition: 'In Mechanics of the Cell David Boal explains the mechanical properties of the biopolymers found within cells … for graduate students in the general field and for biotechnologists required to consider added dimensions to their work it represents a comprehensive text that ought to make it a standard reference for many years.' Ian Jones, Chemistry in Britain'If we were really honest with ourselves, most of us would have to admit that we often take the humble biological cell for granted … David Boal describes the architecture of the biological cell's internal and external structure in extensive detail … This book is highly detailed; by virtue of the incredibly complex mechanics underlying the specialised properties of biological cells, it needs to be!' Kevin Coward, Biologist'This book is by a physicist attempting to get across the underlying physical principles behind biological structures … a very useful text, which fills a hole in the literature, and will serve as a useful reference for a number of years to come.'

Cambridge University Press Electric Brain Signals
Book SynopsisIt is common to study the electric activity of neurons by measuring the electric potential in the extracellular space of the brain. However, interpreting such measurements requires knowledge of the biophysics underlying the electric signals. Written by leading experts in the field, this volume presents the biophysical foundations of the signals as well as results from long-term research into biophysics-based forward-modeling of extracellular brain signals. This includes applications using the open-source simulation tool LFPy, developed and provided by the authors. Starting with the physical theory of electricity in the brain, this book explains how this theory is used to simulate neuronal activity and the resulting extracellular potentials. Example applications of the theory to model representations of real neural systems are included throughout, making this an invaluable resource for students and scientists who wish to understand the brain through analysis of electric brain signals, using biophysics-based modeling.

Cambridge University Press Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of Macromolecular Systems
Book SynopsisReviewing statistical mechanics concepts and tools necessary for the study of structure formation processes in macromolecular systems, this book provides insight into modern research at this interface between physics, chemistry, biology, and nanotechnology. It is an excellent reference for graduate students and researchers.Trade Review'The clarity of exposition supports the author's goal with respect to his view. In fact, as stated in the preface and outline of his work, he wished to overcome the frustration for the present contradicting and inconclusive literature in this field. The richness of specific examples also supports the book scope. The approach to modelling is also clearly described. … this book could be suitable also for non-experts in the field, due to its precise exposition of the subjects. I would recommend this book to people from different scientific backgrounds: starting from physics to biology, biochemistry and many others. The work by Bachmann should also be considered as … an acquisition, whose value is long-lasting. Finally, the exhaustive treatment contained in [this book] might also constitute a good support for defining future research paths and projects, which have now a wide spectrum of applications.' Marco Casazza, Contemporary PhysicsTable of ContentsPreface and outline; 1. Introduction; 2. Statistical mechanics: a modern review; 3.
