About the Cover:

To us humans, one of the most fascinating set of observed phenomena are the reactions taking place in our own bodies. From the time of Leonardo we have been trying to answer various versions of the question "How does it work?" Many answers have been obtained through the centuries; some actually reshaping the form of the question. Our cover this month illustrates the results of some of these inquiries into the working of the human muscle. Leonardo da Vinci's "Notebook" illustrates his preoccupation with how muscles provided locomotion to the body. Two figures from Watson and Williamson's article (p. 723) in this issue show a deeper explanation of "how it works" in terms of a thermodynamic engine.
