Prime Mover: A Natural History of MuscleOur everyday activities turn on the performance of nature's main engine: we may breathe harder going uphill, but we put more strain on our muscles walking downhill. Those of us who are right handed can tighten screws and jar lids more forcibly than we can loosen them. Here we're treated to the story of how form and performance make these things happen how nature does her work. Steven Vogel is a leader in the great new field of bioengineering, which is


Our everyday activities turn on the performance of nature's main engine: we may breathe harder going uphill, but we put more strain on our muscles walking downhill. Those of us who are right-handed can tighten screws and jar lids more forcibly than we can loosen them. Here we're treated to the story of how form and performance make these things happen--how nature does her work.

Steven Vogel is a leader in the great new field of bioengineering, which is rapidly explaining the beauty and efficiency of nature. His talents as both scientist and writer shine in this masterful narrative of biological ingenuity, as he relates the story--and science--of nature's greatest engine.

Great birthday present for guys
Color: Coffee & Orange
I purchased this for my son’s birthday, he loves it. He’s into his watches and jewelry so he needed something appropriate for his growing collection. I think it’s a great value and it looks cool, the outer material looks a bit like carbon fiber, the orange is a darker burnt orange than pictured, but it looks nice. Fits all the stuff well, works great.

classy, sturdy, and keeps my watches looking sharp.
Color: Black & Apricot
This watch box is perfect for organizing and showing off my collection. The build feels solid, the top adds a nice touch, and the compartments are spacious enough for both men's and women's watches. It looks great on a dresser or shelf, and everything stays dust-free and easy to grab. Whether you’ve got a few favorites or a growing lineup, this is a stylish and practical way to keep them safe and organized.
