Concussion Perspectives: Medicine, Science, Engineering, and Society is the result of a team of researchers that have collaborated over the past two decades to help reduce concussion risk.
It covers a multitude of topics from equestrian to football, bicycling, soccer, whitewater, rugby, flag football, and more. It explores basic brain anatomy, concussion injury mechanisms, as well as the legal and political aspects of concussion, and the importance of concussions in all sports. In reality, each chapter could be a book in itself. In that context, each chapter is a high-level summary of that specific topic. References are provided for further reading.
