Product Description

Review

"Tim White and Pieter Folkens's The Human Bone Manual is a terrific addition to the tool kit of osteologists and archaeologists. The book-concise, tightly written, and rich in photographic detail-will be the standard human identification reference for generations to come. Every field project or lab that deals with skeletal remains, ancient or modern, will depend on it."
- Clark Spencer Larsen, Distinguished Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, The Ohio State University

"As a human osteology manual, this book is an excellent resource for archaeologists, palaeontologists and forensic anthropologists. It is a thoroughly written, well illustrated and can be highly recommended."
- Francis Thackeray, Transvaal Museum, Pretoria
South Africa

"This volume is a compact form of previously highly successful editions of Human Osteology by these same authors. In its newest form it is somewhat abbreviated, but is nevertheless an extraordinarily accurate and complete guide to all of the fundamentals of osteoanthropology. The illustrations retain their same vivid three dimensional quality as in previous editions, and the accuracy and thorough review of all major methods (aging, sexing, excavation, laboratory care, etc.) have been retained. It is the perfect companion text and manual for any undergraduate or graduate human osteology course, and is equally highly recommended as well to students of medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, chiropractic, etc., simply because it presents such clear and instructive presentations of fundamental human anatomy. It is, quite simply, the best human anatomy manual currently available."
- C. Owen Lovejoy, Kent State University

4.0 out of 5 stars Very handy, 17 Oct 2006
By S. Groves "Bone Lady" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would highly recommend this book to any student of human anatomy, and to any archaeologist who may come into contact with human remains. As with the authors' earlier text "Human Osteology", this book has excellent photographs and descriptions of human bones, but has the added benefit of being small and light enough to carry about, and is cheap enough to take on site without fear. The photographs are now labelled with the names of the bones, rather than an alphabetical key, which makes this a better quick-reference text. Other sections have been expanded and updated, and the front and back covers include very handy fold out photo targets. I gave this book 4 out of 5 because in a few cases (ie the foot) the photos are displayed across two pages and so parts of the pictures are obscured. Overall, though it's great; don't buy Bass, buy this book instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for studying bones, 8 Nov 2009
By T. Christidou (Bournemouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've gone through a few bone books and this one ticks most of the boxes but one.

Pros:
It has very good photographs of the bones, a lot of them in actual sizes and the rest if very good sizes. Clear photos and labelled. Very handy when you don't have a skeleton to practice on.

I like the size of this book cause you can just carry it around with you.

Not loaded with technical jargon. Well written, concise and to the point.


Cons:
The only issue I got with this book is that it doesn't include all the information relating to doing a bioprofiling of a skeletong (aging, sexing etc.). You will certainly need a different book for that.

5.0 out of 5 stars An informative and very detailed book, 19 Mar 2009
By S. Reilly - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book on the recommandation of a friend and I'm glad that I did, as the 'Human Bone Manual' is very informative, with a simple yet clever idea of illustrating the entire body through the extensive use of detailed, high quality photographs, which is a superb visual aid to identify and familiarise yourself with the human skeleton. The book would be very useful to students, osteologists who need a quick reference book and field archaeologists.
