Reviews

A pleasure to read. Writing this good is hard to find. - Michael Lysaght, Brown University


Montaigne writes engagingly... the book is a wonderful introduction to the field of biomedical engineering. Biofeedback Featuring some of the most recognized names in bioengineering as well as up-and-comers... this is the fascinating story of a discipline only dreamed of by Mary Shelley. Booklist 2006 College-level collections-and many a public library-will find it engrossing. Midwest Book Review 2006 The writing is this book's strength because it makes technical developments accessible to the nonspecialist. Doody's Review Service 2006 The book is well written and... it is easy to follow all the stories. -- George Demiris IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology 2007
