Human Osteology, Second Edition is designed for students and professionals who wish to advance their osteological skills in terms of accurately identifying human skeletal remains, however isolated and fragmentary. These remains can then be used to deduce information about the original lives of the deceased individuals. This book will continue to be an essential text for courses on the human skeleton, as well as a basic reference and field manual for professional osteologists and anatomists, forensic scientists, paleontologists, and archaeologists. Human Osteology, Second Edition includes nearly a decade of advances in osteological research since the first edition. Each chapter has been strengthened and updated, including a new chapter on molecular osteology and four new case studies drawn from more recent research. This edition also includes a valuable guide to electronic resources in osteology. Key Features - Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of exceptional photographs and drawings specifically designed to show a maximum amount of anatomical information
- Based on nearly 25 years of teaching human osteology
- Skeletal parts shown life-size for ease of study and use
- Four new case studies emphasize the correct and positive identification of human bones and teeth, which is fundamental in paleontology, archaeology, and forensic science

 This is the best Osteology book I've ever used for a class, August 31, 2017

This is the best Osteology book I've ever used for a class. The pictures are great. I'd recommend getting the hard copy though. I got the kindle version at first to save $ but in my lab class many people had the hard copy and I saw how helpful it was to have the larger pictures in the hard copy because you could hold bones up to the photos to orient and identify them much more easily than you can with the digital copy. So I ended up buying the hard copy. But if you only need to read the text the digital version should work ok.

Decent text but buy used elsewhere, June 29, 2017

This is a great text for anyone needing to learn osteology. However, the facets for the carpals and several other features in the photos are labeled incorrectly, and Tim White is a pompous misogynistic wad of toilet tissue so I would buy used somewhere else to avoid him getting the royalties. Also they switched printers recently so if you buy new you're basically going to get a book that looks like someone printed a bootleg .pdf in their mom's basement. Tim, if you read this, sorry you're upset about all the women scientists. Next time make sure your editors proofread your photo captions.

Pages falling out, February 06, 2017

The quality of the pages and pictures is amazing, but after only a couple weeks of use a lot of the pages have started falling out of the spine which makes studying incredibly difficult.
