amazing, informative book
19 July 2011
Format:Hardcover
I used the old edition of this book for a class I took a year ago. I studied this book intensely, and have read it cover-to-cover at least 4 times. I am going to be a teaching assistant for the same class in the fall, and am very excited that the professor is using the new edition. While the old edition was excellent, the new edition offers so much more. It goes much deeper into the explanations as well as offering detailed images of the muscle markings, as opposed to the old edition, which briefly mentioned the muscle attachments but did not go into detail. I am very pleased with this book, and as a student, I found it was one of the few textbooks that actually helped me learn in a class.

Great Guide. Mislabeling Problem.
16 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover
I think this is a great improvement from the previous edition. The addition of muscle attachment information is wonderful. This is a great place to start for learning osteology. The images are clear, and descriptions are useful. However, beware the section on the soft tissue of the femur. The numbering of the muscles and on the image are skewed. Therefore about 10 muscles by my count are mislabeled. If you don't have any prior knowledge of soft tissue anatomy, be extra careful using (at least the section on the femur) as your only guide for muscle attachments. A couple of the errors are rather obvious where the colour of the image is not congruent with the category under which they mentioned. However, some are less clear, and one could incorrectly learn as to the origin and insertions of several important muscles of the leg and thigh. If this is the only mislabeled diagram in the text, and it is the only one i have seen, then I would still recommend it.

this is a game-changer

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Color diagrams of muscle attachments and shaft cross-sections make this volume a significant advance from previous editions. For field archaeologists who have worn out their previous editions, this one's a must.
