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

When I received the book, it was in brand new condition. However, there was some defect and the binding was starting to come apart the first day. It has not affected my ability to use the book, but I worry it will come apart in the future.

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.
