- All skeletal parts are shown life-size for ease of study and use
- Emphasizes the correct and positive identification of human bones and teeth, which is fundamental in paleontology, archaeology, and forensic science
- Presents and emphasizes the basics while also providing access to the whole range of modern science involving the skeleton
- Based on fifteen years of teaching human osteology

This book was exactly what I needed for a research project. The book contains clear pictures and extensive descriptions of each bone and even many anomalies that may occur. Will be a book I come back to many times in my career, I'm sure.

Excellent osteology reference book with wonderful photographs (essential when studying bone, as textual descriptions can be difficult to parse), and lots of information on everything from features and siding to sex determination.
