Prime Mover: A Natural History of Muscle by Steven Vogel
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 4.3MB
Overview: The story and the science of nature’s greatest engine.Whether we blink an eye, lift a finger, throw a spear or a ball, walk, run, or merely breathe, we are using muscle. Although muscles differ little in appearance and performance across the animal kingdom, they accomplish tasks as diverse as making flies fly, rattlesnakes rattle, and squid shoot their tentacles.
Our everyday activities turn on the performance of nature’s main engine: we may breathe harder going uphill, but we put more strain on our muscles walking downhill. Those of us who are right-handed can tighten screws and jar lids more forcibly than we can loosen them. Here we’re treated to the story of how form and performance make these things happen how nature does her work.
