Abstract
ABSTRACT This special Review Volume celebrates the work of Neill Alexander, who retired as Professor of Zoology at the University of Leeds in September 1999. Neill has a wide range of research interests, all tackled with rigour. passion and a happy enthusiasm. He has played a pivotal role in establishing the foundations for research in biomechanics, introducing concepts and methods of analysis which have been widely used by scientists in many disciplines around the world. The originality and quality of his science, the generous way he gives assistance and guidance, and his playful enthusiasm have earned him the respect, admiration and affection of several ‘generations’ of scientists, from undergraduates to fellow researchers. Indeed, he is the Grand Old Man of Biomechanics, and has been since a relatively young age! Formal recognition of his achievement<; has come on numerous occasions. He was awarded the Scientific Medal of the Zoological Society of London in 1969, the Linnean Medal for Zoology by the Linnean Society in 1979, and the Muybridge Medal of the International Society for Biomechanics in 1991. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1987 and a Member of Academia Europaea in 1996.
