An extensively revised and expanded second edition of Introduction to Biological Physics for the Health and Life Sciences, this comprehensive guide is ideal for students pursuing health science courses. Authored by Kirsten Franklin, the book is meticulously structured into six key sections: Mechanics, Solids and Fluids, Thermodynamics, Electricity and DC Circuits, Optics, and Radiation and Health. Each chapter is enriched with illustrative examples, diagrams, and carefully selected concepts that closely align with biomedical sciences.

The text is designed to provide a robust foundation in physics, featuring interspersed problems, learning objectives, descriptions of key concepts and equations, and additional practice questions. Two new chapters have been added, covering Optical Instruments and Advanced Geometric Optics, as well as important topics like Thermodynamic Processes, Heat Engines, and Entropy.

Published by Wiley in February 2019, this second edition continues to be a valuable resource for students looking to understand the fundamental principles of biological physics within the context of health and life sciences. With its detailed coverage and practical approach, it serves as an essential tool for both classroom learning and self-study.
