If anyone knows > where to look PLEASE help me!! > Until this year, I helped teach an introductory physics course for life sciences students which was *heavily* biological in it's perspective. Since there were no satisfactory texts available, one of the professors in the physics department here aat UCLA wrote a text for the course. We teach statics in the course, and of course we cover bone breaking and fracturing in it. Would an introductory level text help, or would that be at too low a level for what you want? If you think it would be useful, I'll try to find out if the text has been published yet (last year it was still inn the beta test stage, but the goal at that time was to have it out this year).
