Missing pages.
1 Star
Missing pages.
Missing 16 pages. They are missing completely, so intentionally. Kind of hard to study when part of 2 chapters are missing. Had another book delivered with all the pages...It is not a good book. Hard to read with vague information. Used it one semester and college is swapping to another book.

Using this as a student, class required textbook. I have mixed feelings about this book. The content is great, and simple to understand. One big qualm I have, however, is that all of the textbook answers have to be accessed online with an activation code. You may have to pay for that separately if you bought this book used. Leaving the answers out of the textbook reduces it's size significantly, but I'd prefer having the answers.. You know, in the book itself? Why not just make the textbook a pdf at that point?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a very technical book with lots of physics angles and equations. I have given it 5 stars for people who may require a very technically orientated book. However it is overly technical for lower limb biomechanics which is what I am studying through a podiatry degree. It is probably inappropriate for me and for that I would have given it 1 star. The book itself is of good print and page quality with good explanations of whatever it is it wants to explain along with accompanying diagrams.
