This book and collection of illustrated CD lectures summarizes how maintaining quality of life in an aging population is being achieved by the development of specialty biomaterials, devices, artificial organs, and in vitro growth of human cells as tissue engineered constructs. Following an introduction to living and man-made materials, the text discusses clinical applications of biomaterials and devices, summarizes the bioengineering principles and materials used in artificial organs, and presents the concepts and applications of tissue engineering. It concludes with the complex socio-economic factors involved in technology-based healthcare. Each chapter is supplemented with illustrated PowerPoint lectures and study questions on a CD.
Structure and properties of biomaterials
- Proteins
- Protein-surface interactions
- Blood-biomaterial interactions
- Inflammation and infection

An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions.......2005-04-06
This is a very good undergraduate level textbook for studying the events that take place during wound healing. It assumes no previous knowledge of biology, which is very good for engineering students. The text is also very intuitive and didatic, making it easy to follow. Many b&w images and photos illustrating the explanations given in the text.
The book also presentes some brief topics on surface characterization/modification and in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation.
Excellent Book.......2003-03-11
"...excellent attention to detail...recommended for graduate students, faculty and researchers, and bioengineers and physicians." (Choice, Vol. 40, No. 6, February 2003)

Book Description
Achieving good clinical outcomes with implanted biomaterials depends upon achieving optimal function, both mechanical and biological, which in turn depends upon integrating advances realized in biological science, material science, and tissue engineering. As these advances push back the frontiers of biomaterial medicine , the control and patterning of bio-implant interface reactions will have a tremendous impact on future design and prospects of implant treatments. Bio-Implant Interface: Improving Biomaterials and Tissue Reactions brings together a remarkable panel of scientists to present the state-of-the-art in our understanding of interactions at the interface between biomaterials and living tissue. Much of the focus is on the importance of the implant surface's topography and chemistry to its interaction with the biological environment. Biomineralization along with the biological content of the interface and its role in directing cellular response along desired pathways also receive particular attention. The pursuit of new and better designs for improved biocompatibility and patient response to implants continues to challenge clinicians and scientists alike. This book offers a unique opportunity to bring yourself up-to-date on recent advances in the field and new strategies for controlling the bio-implant interface.

From the Hearts of Brothers.......2003-05-11
For many years including today, the African-American male has been stereotyped. From the thug to the super star athlete, he has had to endure the labels of society. A collection of letters and journals, PAPER-THIN SOUL-DEEP, allows us to delve into the hearts of African-American men, exploring many emotions on a variety of issues.
Coming from all walks of life, we are introduced to fathers, husbands, brothers, nephews, and friends. From the very beginning, their voices will captivate and inspire you. Several standout pieces include "Father Figure," "Paradise," and "Wings." While each piece is honest, poignant, and relatable, the impact they convey is simply powerful.
Compelling and stirring, PAPER-THIN SOUL-DEEP is a literary gem. It takes you on a journey that will awaken your emotions on all levels. You will laugh, cry, and be touched as you gain true insight from a variety of American-American men. This collection is one that will leave a lasting impact on your soul.

Paper-Thin/ Soul-Deep.......2003-03-28
These letters and journal entries ritten by men of color, in the simplist form, offer us the hope we need to tell our own stories. Stories of failure and success, of love kept and love loss. It show the diversity that exist among men of color, while rejection the myth that we are unable to express ourselves.
Blanchard, Shelton, Mims-Goodman and Company should be praised for this gathering of Black men that have spoken so profoundly through the written word on the lives of ordinary Black men. They take us from the hood to academia, to struggles with our sexuality, to the prison world, to our relationships with others, even our grandmothers.
Using several different styles of writing, from first person to narrative, comedy and tradegy, Paper-Thin Soul-Deep is a must read!
Women Will Love This Book!!.......2002-12-16
Although I wasn't enamored by the book cover, I can assure you that this is one of the most powerfully written books I have read in a long time. As I read each of the personal letters and journal writings, I kept saying to myself, "YES! YES! YES!" Finally, there is an opportunity to look beyond the surface to both feel and understand the hearts of African American men. One moment, I was in tears, the next I was angry and then I was bursting at the seams with laughter. The experiences of these men as they write about their relationships with their parents, their children, their wives, thier lovers and themselves have all helped to bring greater clarity for me as I try to grow in my relationship with my beautiful chocolate man. Thanks Blanchard, Shelton and Goodman! What a personal education this book has been for me!
Paper-Thin Soul Deep.......2002-12-13
Paper-Thin Soul Deep is a must read. It will take you through numerous emotions and give your heart a complete thrill. It will suprise you that the journals were written by the everyday men we see in our society today. It will open your eyes and give you a whole new perspective on African Amercian males, fracturing the modern steroetype.
A must read for African American men........2002-12-02
I'm giving this book to many friends. It's a great gift because it is well written and it will make you laugh, cry, and question current images of African American males. Although it is not an academic collection of work, it is a valuable tool for understanding African American males from their own perspective.
