Understanding Body Shapes of Animals: Shapes as mechanical constructions and Systems moving on minimal energy level
Holger Preuschoft
Most emphasis is placed on the proximate question, namely the identification of the mechanical stresses which must be sustained by the respective body parts, when they move the body or its parts against resistance. In the first part of the book the focus is on ‘primitive’ animals and later on the emphasis shifts to highly specialized mammals.
