Introduction to Biomedical Engineering

If you are into the biomedical engineering field, you are already very familiar with this expansive text. If not, this text will clearly answer all of your questions!

Really good conditions. Almost new if it wasn't for a scratch. A little one. Nothing to worry about it. What makes me rate it with 3 stars is the fact that all the information is packed within block-paragraphs. Too many detail and information in just one paragraph. You really need to read carefully and pay attention since there is no Boldface or italicized letters, not even the subtitles. It annoying how this book has all valuable information squeezed in the paragraphs.

Description was pretty accurate, took some time to get here, but the conditions were what i was looking for, so i rated him good

I gave it to my brother because he's considering specializing in that area. He was very pleased. It is written in a way that even i as a medical student can understand. And the book arrived in an excellent condition.

Great condition!!!! Thanks for the book. It arrived as scheduled and was perfectly packaged. Pleasure doing business. Have a nice day.

LOVE IT.

This book reads more like a collection of technical papers than a coherent text. The writing is uneven from section to section, and it flows poorly. Some sections are poorly written, with terms introduced without definition. The section on computers is particularly bad, with focus on topics that are outdated and specifics that no longer apply in today's world of computing. In several sections the authors go into great detail to no apparent purpose, other than to show off their knowledge of physics, chemistry, and biology. As a reference, this book has utility, and that's why I gave it two stars rather than one. As a text, it's lousy, and I take pity on students who are saddled with it.

In general a good overview of the field. However, I would not consider this book an introductory text for freshmen, rather for juniors/seniors with strong background in MATLAB, differential equations and physics; which this book assumes. I suppose that uneven difficulty level and quality of content across chapters is the price to pay when you have different authors for each section. I think the addition of pedagogical features such as: learning outcomes, checklists, examples of best practices would greatly improve this book to a level equal or greater than Saltzman's textbook.

BEst for My professional use: didactic and research

Testo eccellente, molto versatile. Ha utili informazioni per ogni argomento di cui debba sapere di più. Esposizione chiara e precisa.

The book is great! Covers all I needed to know. I only bought it for personal interest and not in the context of an academic course.

Das Buch "Introduction to Biomedical Engineering" versucht eine Übersicht über den Bereich der Medizintechnik zu geben. Damit stellen sich die Autoren einer Herausforderung in der die Gebiete der Medizin, Technik und Biologie enthalten sind. Das Inhaltsverzeichnis klingt vorerst vielversprechend. Es werden wichtige Themengebiete abgedeckt und Einführungen in z. B. Physiologie gegeben. An die jeweiligen Kapitel sind Übungsaufgaben angegliedert. Das Buch richtet sich aus meiner Sicht in erster Linie an Studenten, die sich für diesen wichtigen Schnittstellenbereich interessieren und soll wie der Titel bereits sagt eine Einführung in das Themengebiet sein. Die Aufmachung des Buches (keinerlei farbliche Abbildungen, rießengroße grau hinterlegte Boxen) ist meiner Meinung nach nicht gelungen. Auch die Inhalte der einzelnen Kapitel sind zwar interessant, aber nicht herausragend geschrieben und in manchen Teilen verliert man vollkommen die Lust am Weiterlesen. Für einige der Themengebiete habe ich in anderen Büchern bessere Einführungen gelesen. Ich würde das Buch jemandem empfehlen, der eine grobe Übersicht über das Themengebiet braucht. Es ist allerdings zum einen nicht gut genug geschrieben um es durchzulesen und andererseits sind die Kapitel nicht ausführlich genug um es als ein Nachschlagewerk zu verwenden. Ich glaube ich würde das Buch nicht wieder kaufen.

Opened it, browsed through, sent it back immediately! The online "browse into the book" function shows you a version full of color figures while the actual print version you get is the usual thin paper bad quality version with only greyscale figures. Therefore, the quality is not what is suggested by the webpage description. Thanks, but no thanks!
