Biomechanics of Tendons and Ligaments: Tissue Reconstruction looks
at the structure and function of tendons and ligaments. Biological
and synthetic biomaterials for their reconstruction and

can range from repetition and overuse, to tears and ruptures.
Understanding the biomechanical properties of ligaments and tendons
is essential for their repair and regeneration.

Material-Tissue Interfacial Phenomena: Contributions from Dental
and Craniofacial Reconstructions explores the material/tissue
interfacial phenomena using dental and craniofacial reconstructions
as a model system. As the mouth is a particularly caustic
environment, the synthetic and/or bio-enabled materials used to
repair damaged tissues and restore form, function, and esthetics to
oral structures must resist a variety of physical, chemical, and
mechanical challenges. These challenges are magnified at the
interface between dissimilar structures such as the tooth/material
interface. Interfacial reactions at the atomic, molecular, and
nano-scales initiate the failure of materials used to repair,
restore, and reconstruct dental and craniofacial tissues.
Understanding the phenomena that lead to failure at the interface
between dissimilar structures, such as synthetic materials and
biologic tissues, is confounded by a variety of factors that are
thoroughly discussed in this comprehensive book.

One of the most important factors in ensuring successful
osseointegration is the stability of the implant after its
insertion. In order to achieve optimum conditions for implantation,
it is often necessary to prepare the area and reconstruct the bone
to ensure that it is the correct shape and size for the implant.
Preprosthetic and maxillofacial surgery provides a thorough review
of the current status and future direction of this important field.
Part one reviews bone grafting for implantology and reconstructive
preprosthetic surgery. Chapters in part two discuss reconstruction
and rehabilitation whilst the final group of chapters analyse
tissue engineering applications.

Interdisciplinary research is a rewarding enterprise, but there are
inherent challenges, especially in current anthropological study.
Anthropologists investigate questions concerning health, disease,
and the life course in past and contemporary societies,
necessitating interdisciplinary collaboration. Tackling these 'big
picture' questions related to human health-states requires
understanding and integrating social, historical, environmental,
and biological contexts and uniting qualitative and quantitative
data from divergent sources and technologies. The crucial interplay
between new technologies and traditional approaches to anthropology
necessitates innovative approaches that promote the emergence of
new and alternate views. Beyond the Bones: Engaging with Disparate
Datasets fills an emerging niche, providing a forum in which
anthropology students and scholars wrestle with the fundamental
possibilities and limitations in uniting multiple lines of
evidence. This text demonstrates the importance of a multi-faceted
approach to research design and data collection and provides
concrete examples of research questions, designs, and results that
are produced through the integration of different methods,
providing guidance for future researchers and fostering the
creation of constructive discourse. Contributions from various
experts in the field highlight lines of evidence as varied as
skeletal remains, cemetery reports, hospital records, digital
radiographs, ancient DNA, clinical datasets, linguistic models, and
nutritional interviews, including discussions of the problems,
limitations, and benefits of drawing upon and comparing datasets,
while illuminating the many ways in which anthropologists are using
multiple data sources to unravel larger conceptual questions in
anthropology.
