This manual is a somewhat more consise version of Dr. White's Osteology textbook. Excellent for anyone with any need to understand the human skeleton in depth. Clearly and assessibly written and includes fantastic pictures, indexes of directional terms, etc. Used widely on archaeological digs the world over.
As a physical anthropology grad student, I am finding this book to be very useful. The hardcover text is great, but this is transportable and packed with information. Would highly recommend it to anyone in forensics, anthropology.
this book would be best accompanied by an anatomy book. To really get a good visual, it's a good idea to review muscle attachments and origin sites in a(n additional) book with color.so My biggest criticism (and it's so easy to criticize) is that while many of the bones are pictured the as the actual size, there are not photographs of the bones articulated with neighboring bones. I found it hard to side bones because of this. So, it's a pretty good book in spite of my harshness, just not by itself.
Excellent reference for travelling and field work as it's half the size of the original edition. I have the original and bought this anyway. The photography is excellent and it gives you a number of views of each element, and examples of normal variation. It also manages not to leave out anything important even though it is smaller (I compared the chapters with the larger edition). But don't rely on this for exhaustive terminology; it's not meant to be a dictionary.
Very overpriced and doesn't have all the diagrams that would be helpful. If it had more skeletal diagrams (the computer generated not pictures). Also would be helpful if any of the book was in color. The entire book is black an white. For seeing different regions of the bones it is immensely helpful to have them colored. This bone manual lacks that helpfulness
As far as forensic books go, it's very well-written, with good illustrations, and is very cost-efficient and easy to carry around. Aimed at field work, so the pointers (i.e. which bones are potentially confused with others) are very helpful. Could use some color and more diagrams, but for the price I paid for it, I'm not complaining.
An excellent guide to the human skeletal system. Keep in mind this manual is made to be taken into the field and so is not as thorough as the larger book written by one of the same authors. I purchased this book after I used it in one of my anthropology classes. It is well written and well organized. The book is written primarily for anthropology/archaeology, but it would work for anyone looking for a better understanding of the human skeleton. This is a good reference guide and worth purchasing and adding to your bookshelf.
Arrived on time from seller love the outline of the book and was a required text for a osteology course and helps out a lot, however if bought in conjunction with Bass Manual it is the perfect pair to learn and work with. Full of examples and diagrams helps a lot if your a visual learner.
