Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-18 00:00:00 Dennis Williams Being a first year student in bioengineering I was searching for something besides a textbook that'll help me explore the field a bit more. 'Medicine by Design', being the very first book I read on biomedical engineering, suited my purpose perfectly. I got to learn so many rich details and stories behind leading biomedical companies and university programs that you won't find easily just by surfing the web. At first I thought this book may be top heavy with information and that it'll be a boring read, however factual. But I was wholly wrong. The author maintains a light, narrative prose throughout the chapters while still managing to deliver tons of information. This book provides a bird's eye view of how biomedical engineering devices are used to counter many health issues like heart problems, paralysis, diseases like Parkinson's, problems on bones and joints and it even explores the shift in the field from mechanical devices to engineering at the micro- and nano- levels and also how dominant a role computer imaging plays. I may not be the best judge of how comprehensive this book is but it definitely helped me become more actively involved in my major.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-21 00:00:00 Randaulph Blighter This book is something to read if you're interested in learning about the field of bio medical engineering and how far it's come in the past half century. If you're looking for one of those books to read while you're drinking coffee with your book club, I don't think this is it. It's something that only a biological science/medicine lover would pick up. Nothing like the watered down NYT bestsellers that brush over topics. It's more of a historical report on engineering in the life sciences. Even the anecdotes are the kind only a scientist would love. I wish that it were a book I could do the former with, so I'm being petty and withholding two stars.
