Summary: Unique piece of literature
Comment: This book is one of those niche books that gives a thorough comprehensive overview of a topic few people bother to think about. In this case, the various modes of how animals move are explained using words, pictures, and equations. There are many books about how birds fly, or how fish swim, or how felines run, but this book gives a good overview of all these modes of locomotion and more. It covers the mechanics, kinetics, and thermodynamics of the different kinds of motion. For example, one learns how the metabolism, oxygen consumption, and weight distribution changes for a horse as it accelarates from a walk to a full sprint. I recommend this book to anyone interested in biomechanics, biology, or mechanical engineering.
