Skeletal Muscle: Form & Function provides readers with a detailed understanding of the different facets of muscle physiology. Meticulously researched and updated, this text examines motoneuron and muscle structure and function. It is intended for those who need to know about skeletal muscle—from undergraduate and graduate students gaining advanced knowledge in kinesiology to physiotherapists, physiatrists, and other professionals whose work demands understanding of muscle form and function. A unique feature of this book is that it combines basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, biophysics, and chemistry) with clinical applications (detection of disease and genetic mutations and training and rehabilitation). Each chapter ends with a section on clinical and other applied aspects of the information presented in that chapter, showing, for example, how specific defects of muscle or nerve cells can result in certain clinical disorders. The result is a thorough understanding of skeletal muscle structure and physiology. This new edition includes : >The latest research in all areas of muscle physiology >Major revisions of chapters covering muscle contraction, muscle metabolism, & fatigue >More than 200 drawings (many of them original) & 30 photographs (mostly micrographs), all of which clarify & augment the text >Pedagogical aids to facilitate comprehension, including key points in the margins, special interest points, an index, & a greatly expanded glossary Skeletal Muscle: Form & Function is divided into three parts. Part I presents the structures of the neuromuscular system: muscle, motoneurons, and neuromuscular junctions and sensory receptors as well as the development of these structures. Part II examines muscle function, including neuromuscular transmission, muscle contraction, motor units, and muscle metabolism. Part III focuses on the adaptability of the neuromuscular system. Among the issues it explores are fatigue, loss and recovery of muscle innervation, trophism, muscle training, and injury and repair. The depth and breadth of the contents, combined with the practical applications, make this book the leading authority on the structure, electrophysiology, and adaptability of human skeletal muscle. It is an excellent text for students and a practical and up-to-date reference for professionals. 'Skeletal Muscle: Form & Function, by Alan J. McComas, is unique. It skillfully combines a comprehensive review of basic nerve-muscle physiology, and a broad array of applications, ranging from neuromuscular diseses and disuse, to fatigue and the effects of training. Thus, this book will serve an unprecedented wide audience, including muscle physiologyists, exercise physiologists, physicians, physiotherapists, and bio mechanicians. One of many notable features of the book is the authors's ability to provide historical context in the development of basic and applied knowledge, with reference to advances in experimental methods. This is but one of the many features that will make the book invaluable to students' - Digby Sale, Dept of Kinesiology, McMaster University, Ontario, Canada. 'An excellent and comprehensive synthesis of knowledge - ranging from the molecular to the applied. It strikes a delicate balance - appropriate detail to be helpful to those already knowledgeable about skeletal muscle, yet not inappropriate for those persons beginning their study of muscle' - Timothy P. White, Dean of the College of Health and Human Performance, Oregon State University. (ISBN:0736045171) (For this item please quote stock ID 15919) ISBN: 0736045171

This book aims to provide the reader with a simple explanation of some of the fundamental principles of the sciences of pharmacology, therapeutics and toxicology. It sketches the history of drug treatment from traditional therapy with mainly herbal preparations to today's explosion of synthetic drugs. It outlines the roles of the academic research laboratories and the pharmaceutical industry in the development, synthesis, testing and marketing of new drugs. What happens to these drugs when introduced into the body, and how they produce their actions, the good, the bad and the fatal, are the main themes of the first part of this book. The final two chapters address briefly the toxicities produced in our civilised society by the industrial chemicals released into our air, water, soil and food. This overview aims to help the layman understand the two frequent therapeutic disappointments and unexpected disasters that appear inevitably to accompany the extraordinary progress of medical science over the past hundred years or so. It should enable him to cultivate rational and well-informed opinions on these problems. The widespread problem of pollution in advanced technological societies of our soil, air and water by the chemicals produced intentionally or as waste products by industry can also be better understood from this theoretical background. The second part is devoted to chemical substances that act on the nervous system, as these include drugs which are widely abused and can lead to chemical dependence and addiction. Substances acting on the involuntary part of the central nervous system (the autonomic nervous system) which controls blood pressure, cardiac function, respiration, etc., are mentioned, since their modes of action throw light on those chemicals which influence the higher centres, leading to alterations in sensation, mood, behaviour and consciousness. There are chapters on the cause and treatment of mental disorder, the alleviation of anxiety neurosis, insomnia and pain. This leads to a discussion of the nature, cause and treatment of the social problem of drug addiction. These matters are also of great concern to the layman, and there is a need to help him to evaluate intelligently the various panaceas proposed to solve this social disaster. Author: Dr. Michael B. Roberts received his D.Phil. degree in Science from Oxford University in 1946 and M.B.,B.S. and L.M.S.S.A from University of London in 1957. He first taught pharmacology in Aberdeen University Medical School, Scotland, and was the Professor of Pharmacology and Chairman of the Department, University of Hong Kong when he retired in 1980. He has published widely in professional journals and contributed chapters to books. Audience: Every one: students, parents, teachers, medical professionals, social workers, and those interested in health and the use of medicine.

'This is a book that took some courage to write and badly needed to be written. Although wholly contemporary in feeling and style, it speaks to the dilemma of busy homeopathic physicians in every time and place: how to keep doing quality work under pressure of time, reputation, and ever more difficult and demanding cases to come up with creditable prescriptions without delay. 'Dr. Morrison states "The purpose of this book is threefold: It is meant first as an aid to be used at the time of the interview to cue the practitioner toward likely remedies for a particular condition. The second 'is as a study guide, bringing the main points of the remedies into focus. And finally, (the third is) to give advice about treatment based on the experience of myself and my colleagues at our centre' - Richard Moskowitz The book as it stands is splendid and unequaled elsewhere.

This is a major synthesis of the knowledge and practice of early modern English medicine in its social and cultural contexts. The book vividly maps out some central areas: remedies (and how they were made credible), notions of disease, advice on preventive medicine and on healthy living, and how surgeons worked upon the body and their understanding of what they were doing. The structures of practice and knowledge examined in the first part of the book came to be challenged in the later seventeenth century, when the ‘new science’ began to overturn the foundation of established knowledge. However, as the second part of the book shows, traditional medical practice was so well entrenched in English culture that much of it continued into the eighteenth century. Various changes did however occur, which set the agenda for later medical treatment and which are discussed in the final chapter.

This text, written by members of the Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, is designed to cover the history of western medicine from classical antiquity to 1800. As one guiding thread it takes, as its title suggests, the system of medical ideas that in large part went back to the Greeks of the eighth century BC, and played a major role in the understanding and treatment of health and disease. Its influence spread from the Aegean basin to the rest of the Mediterranean region, to Europe, and then to European settlements overseas. By the nineteenth century, however, this tradition no longer carried the same force or occupied so central a position within medicine. This book charts the influence of this tradition, examining it in its social and historical context. It is essential reading as a new synthesis for all students of the history of medicine.

Designed specifically for dancers and movement educators, this manual provides drawings and names of anatomical structures to form a coherent presentation of basic anatomy and its relationship to movement. Anatomy of the Moving Body is a complete, lecture-based course in bones, muscles, and joints designed specifically for dancers and movement educators. With 31 elegantly illustrated chapters, each covering a distinct region of the body, Dimon simultaneously demystifies and brings to life the structure and mechanics of the human body. For movement educators who are putting together their own courses on anatomy and require a basic manual to work from, Anatomy of the Moving Body provides not only drawings and names of anatomical structures, but written lectures which tie the material together into a coherent series of presentations. Discussed in detail are etymology of anatomical terms; origins and attachments of muscles and related actions; discussion of major functional structures such as the pelvis, shoulder girdle, ankle, and hand; major landmarks and human topography; and structures related to breathing and vocalisation. 'Anatomy of the Moving Body is a suberb book for students and teachers alike. Ted Dimon's work is straightforwardly written, beautifully illustrated, and put forth with a sensibility of one who understands not simply how we are orgainsed, but how our structure is able to move with grace and beauty. The conversational tone makes the book accessible, and the information is conveyed always with a sense not only of where things lie, but how they can operate most harmoniously' - Dancer and Choreographer, January 2001. 'More than just clear, concise, and accurate, Dimon's Anatomy of the Moving Body also wonderfully expresses the joy of musculoskeletal anatomic understanding - its marvelous vocabulary and endlessly fascinating relations of structure and function' - John H.M. Austin, M.D., Professor of Radiology, Columbia University. Theodore Dimon Ed.D. directs the Dimon School for the Alexander Technique in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He became certified to teach the Alexander Technique at London's Constructive Teaching Centre in 1983, and received both his master's and doctorate degrees in Education from Harvard University. A founding director of the North American Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (NASTAT), he has served for the past nine years as President of the Alexander Technique Archives, a non-profit organisation that promotes research and scholarship on the Technique.

One of the most influential and creative scholars in medical anthropology takes stock of his recent intellectual odysseys in this collection of essays. Arthur Kleinman, an anthropologist and psychiatrist who has studied in Taiwan, China, and North America since 1968, draws upon his bicultural, multidisciplinary background to propose alternative strategies for thinking about how, in the postmodern world, the social and medical relate. Writing at the Margin explores the border between medical and social problems, the boundary between health and social change. Kleinman studies the body as the mediator between individual and collective experience, finding that many health problems - for example the trauma of violence or depression in the course of chronic pain - are less individual medical problems than interpersonal experiences of social suffering. He argues for an ethnographic approach to moral practice in medicine, one that embraces the infrapolitical context of illness, the responses to it, the social institutions relating to it, and the way it is configured in medical ethics. Previously published in various journals, these essays have been revised, updated, and brought together with an introduction, an essay on violence and the politics of post-traumatic stress disorder, and a new chapter that examines the contemporary ethnographic literature of medical anthropology.

Author Clair Davies' own case of frozen shoulder led him to undertake an extensive study of trigger points and referred pain that eventually resulted in his runaway best-seller, "The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook". Now, this renowned bodywork expert and educator revisits the subject of frozen shoulder, offering the most detailed and comprehensive manual yet available about this painful and debilitating condition, a useful resource for self-care and for bodywork practitioners looking to expand their treatment repertoire. Frozen shoulder, the syndrome name for several joint and tendon-related symptoms, is experienced as a loss of motion and pain in the shoulder and upper arm. It is most often observed in women between the ages of forty and sixty and individuals with type-two diabetes. Traditional medical treatments for the condition, which rely on painkillers, steroid injections and physical therapy, often do little to moderate symptoms or speed recovery. Trigger point therapy, a gentle massage technique that targets localised areas of tenderness in soft tissue, has been used very successfully to relieve pain, restore range of motion and shorten recovery times (For this item please quote stock ID 30313) ISBN: 9781572244474

The long tube that makes up the gastrointestinal tract is composed of a variety of tissue types and is the largest internal organ of the body. Its main function is to digest food and absorb the released nutrients. Furthermore, it is subdivided into functionally distinct regions that each mediate one of a variety of actions upon the food consumed, including ingestion, propulsion, secretion, digestion, absorption and expulsion. Autonomic neuronal circuitry is intimately involved in controlling many of these multiple functions of the gut, making it an appealing subject for the study of neuroscientists. This book reviews the state of current knowledge on the innervation of the gut by the enteric nervous system, and its interface with the extrinsic innervation, from a number of different perspectives, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and accessible account of the subject.

I write to explain chemistry to students the way I wish it had been explained to me years ago.' Through his lucid writing and ability to show the beauty and logic of organic chemistry, McMurry makes learning enjoyable for students. The highest compliment that can be given to a chemistry book applies to McMurry: It works! Mainstream in level, McMurry's coverage is concise yet doesn't omit any key topics. McMurry blends the traditional functional-group approach with a mechanistic approach. The primary approach, by functional group, begins with the simple and progresses to the more complex so that readers who are not yet versed in the subtleties of mechanisms are first exposed to the what of chemistry before beginning to grapple with the why. Within this primary organisation, the author places a heavy emphasis on explaining the fundamental mechanistic similarities. (For this item please quote stock ID 19871) ISBN: 9780495112587

How do plant compounds affect our bodies? Plants defend themselves from other organisms through the production of bioactive metabolites. Introduced to the body, these compounds bind to particular biochemical targets, most notably to proteins involved in signalling by hormones and neurotransmitters. This, essentially, is the basis for the effects of herbal medicine. Though whilst herbal medicine preparations may act by complex synergistic interactions, molecular explanations of herbal medicine efficacy and side-effects will ultimately require definition of the biochemical targets of individual plant bioactive constituents. This volume is a comprehensive and user-friendly reference guide to biochemical targets of plant defensive compounds. It presents a mine of succinctly summarised information relating to bioactive compound structures, plant sources, biochemical targets and physiological effects which can be readily accessed via the plant genus index and chemical compound index. With introductory chapters providing reviews of the structural diversity of plant defensive compounds and biochemistry, Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds is an invaluable reference for biomedical professionals in the fields of complementary medicine, natural product chemistry, toxicology and pharmacology.

Basic Biomechanics provides an introduction to biomechanics using the latest findings from the research literature to support and exemplify the concepts presented. Quantitative as well as qualitative examples of problems illustrate biomechanical principles. Quantitative aspects are presented in a manageable, progressive fashion to make biomechanical principles accessible to all students, regardless of their mathematical skills. This book presents the biomechanical principles of human movement. Its unique aspects include its pedagogical features, such as an online learning center, and the balanced presentation of biomechanical and anatomical principles. The previous edition was published in 1999. The objective is to provide an introduction to basic biomechanical principles of human movement. The book achieves this objective and provides essential information to those involved in the observation, evaluation, and prescription of human movement. The book is intended for undergraduate students in human movement sciences. The author has designed the book in such a way that students with a weak background in mathematics will succeed in understanding the principles of biomechanics. Readers are introduced to kinematics, kinetics, laws of motion, and fluid mechanics as they are applied to human motion. They also are exposed to muscle mechanics and anatomical kinesiology considerations. The book is particularly effective at introducing and applying kinetic and kinematic concepts to human movement using sample problems that are sensitive to students with a limited background in mathematics. A bonus feature is the comprehensive online learning center that provides quizzes, flashcards, games, and other pedagogical strategies to enhance learning of the materials. The author has developed an excellent presentation scheme for introducing basic biomechanical principles of human movement. This edition provides updated and revised text based on recent research findings that are relevant to a broad reading audience. The inclusion of anatomical kinesiology along with the biomechanical principles makes this book ideal for curricula in the human movement sciences that offer a single undergraduate course in biomechanics or kinesiology.

Mind Mapping, invented by Tony Buzan, results in increased confidence, saves precious studying time and gives the student a sense of achievement. Conventional textbooks present information in such a way that the key words are not always obvious to the student. Research shows that the key words are important in learning as they create and reinforce learning pathways. The key words in this book are presented in the context of pathways which connect to form maps of each topic. The information on each topic is thus connected to provide a framework for revision and learning. Studies show that revision of key words creates and strengthens words associations and helps the brain to process further information on the topic faster. Psychologists call this effect the ?semantic prime?. The Mind Maps provide an overview of the subjects and are designed to ?prime? the brain to remember the information.

Accumulations of life stresses ? physical injuries, emotional and psychological stresses, birth traumas, and toxicity ? can become imprinted in the tissues, acting like a recording that is replayed whenever stimulated. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy aims to resolve the trapped forces that underlie and drive these trauma-based patterns of disease and suffering in body and mind. Wisdom in the Body teaches practitioners to develop finely tuned skills of hands-on palpation and perception to sense the body?s subtle rhythms and patterns of inertia or congestion, with the goal of ending trauma and facilitating the expression of the breath of life. A comprehensive introduction to this practice, the book draws on the insights of pioneers like Drs. W. G. Sutherland and Franklyn Sills to explain the key principles about the body?s natural intention to heal and how this capability can be encouraged. A valuable resource for students, practitioners, and the lay reader, the book also includes a foreword by Franklyn Sills. 'A well-written, practical overview of craniosacral therapy, one of the safest and most effective techniques for improving health that I have found. I wish that more practitioners like Michael Kern were available' - Andrew Weil, author of Natural Health, Natural Healing. 'This is an amazing piece of work, deeply intelligent and profoundly inspirational. Michael Kern has delivered the goods. When you finish this book you will either want to become a craniosacral practitioner or rush out and find one. If you are in a body, read this book' - Gabrielle Roth, founder of the Moving Centre in New York, and author of Sweat Your Prayers: Movement as Spiritual Practice and Maps to Ecstasy. 'This book is a plea for a holistic approach to healing, in which we honour all that makes us human ? body, mind, spirit. Michael Kern?s scholarship is admirable' - Larry Dossey, author of Reinventing Medicine, Healing Words and Space, Time and Medicine. (For this item please quote stock ID 26106) ISBN: 9781556435591

A Textbook of Pathology is a general rather than specific text and covers topics studied by different health courses. It?s structure and design will lend itself to allowing students from different disciplines to use specific chapters more than others depending on what their focus of study may be. Podiatry students for example, will study foot disorders and diabetes; cancer will be emphasised for radiation therapists; nutritional disorders for dieticians; dental disorders for oral hygienists. Within primary care allied health practitioners need to be versed in recognising a variety of disorders so as to know when to refer. A Textbook of Pathology describes scientifically the nature of disease, looking at its causes and its effects. Characteristics of disease such as tissue changes, organ dysfunction and whole body effects are contrasted with signs and symptoms in the patient. It is this which makes the book relevant for students following a diagnostic or primary health care practitioner profession. It gives important information of disease processes, changes in the body, diagnosis, symptoms and signs, treatment and prognosis of disease. The author looks at disease from a clinical perspective and its usefulness to the student is increased by the practical approach it takes to investigation of disease, whether in a diagnostic, clinical or treatment discipline. It covers general and systemic pathology at an undergraduate level in an easy-to-read format containing many clinical examples, case studies, study crosswords, study questions and other learning devices and is supported by an Evolve website.

Key Features
> Strong ancillary package which will include:
> Test bank for each chapter - 30 questions per chapter
> Case studies for each chapter
> Concept maps
> Virtual pathology museum - photo?s of specimens (approx 200)
> Virtual histopathology atlas - approx 150 photos

Anatomy of Movement: Exercises, the companion volume to Anatomy of Movement, describes and illustrates, through hundreds of photographs and drawings, a comprehensive series of exercises involving the most common movements of the body. Over a hundred new illustrations were added in this revised edition. The exercises were chosen on the basis of their effectiveness and with concern for their safety. Some are designed to focus on strengthening a particular region or muscle group, others the entire body. Each exercise prepares the body to respond well to the demands of particular movements. Together they serve as a basis for the more specialized movements associated with various physical disciplines and therapies. Presentation follows the sequencing in Anatomy of Movement. For each body region the authors describe characteristic movements; potential sources of stiffness or laxity and how to detect, prevent, and overcome them; how to strengthen specific muscles or muscle groups; and how to coordinate movements. This is followed by "practice pages" on which specific exercises are demonstrated. About the author Blandine Calais-Germain is the celebrated author of Anatomy of Movement, Anatomy of Movement: Exercises, The Female Pelvis: Anatomy and Exercises, and Anatomy of Breathing. Her lifelong involvement with dance, both as performer and teacher, led to an interest in other physical disciplines and to more formal study of the complex and integrated movements of the body. She studied physiotherapy at the French School of Orthopedics and Massage in Paris, and subsequently developed an innovative method for teaching the physical structures of anatomy in relation to movement, which she teaches at workshops in France to students from all over the world. Andree Lamotte [Gary: put accent over the first –e in Andree] is also a dancer and has taught dance since 1962. She currently heads the center for Danse-Creation (founded by Anne-Marie Debatte in the French town of Lille), which provides training in both dance and movement studies.

The fasciae comprise a wide variety of body tissues including the membranes, ligaments, tendons, and mesenteries. These tissues are all derived from the mesoderm, which undergoes coiling or rolling movements during embryonic development. This is the origin of the inherent micro-movements, or motility, that are so important in many osteopathic approaches to diagnosis and treatment. The fasciae are found at every level of the body and constitute a basic element of human physiology. They serve as the body's first line of defence, acting independently of the central nervous system, which is why they are referred to as a 'peripheral brain'. From a mechanical point of view, the fasciae are organised in chains to defend the body against restrictions. When a restriction goes beyond a specific threshold, the fasciae respond by modifying their viscoelasticity, changing the collagenic fibres, and transforming healthy fascial chains into lesional chains. The fasciae keep a record of every trauma that causes a change in motility. Through the sensitivity of trained hands, we are able to perceive movements on a micro-level and can thus detect motility disturbances, which reveal the medical history of a patient. Remedial techniques, adapted to each patient, can restore normal motility. In this way, fascial disturbances can be overcome, allowing the body to recover its normal physiological functions. For this reason, we can say that the health of every person is reflected in large part in the fasciae. The Fasciae: Anatomy, Dysfunction & Treatment is the first book to organise the wealth of available information concerning fascial tissues from the fields of embryology, anatomy, histology, and pathology. It describes the roles and mechanisms of the fasciae, and details appropriate testing and treatment techniques. The book is richly illustrated with colour and black and white drawings throughout.

From 1977 to 1980 the author studied physiotherapy at the French School of Orthopedics and Massage in Paris. In physiotherapy, body movements are analysed both in terms of their neurophysiological and mechanical aspects, which allows for a better understanding of the actual mechanisms of movement. From her work with dance and physiotherapy, the author developed an innovative method for teaching the physical structures of anatomy in relation to movement. This method, the subject of her companion volumes Anatomy of Movement and Anatomy of Movement: Exercises, has been enthusiastically received in workshops that she presented for many years in France. Her two books have been translated and published throughout the world in many languages. She is the celebrated author of Anatomy of Movement and The Female Pelvis: Anatomy and Exercise.

First published in 1945, this new printing of the first major publication by Joseph H. Pilates and William J. Miller details the exercises, poses, and instructions fundamental to the matwork developed by Joseph and Clara Pilates. Based on his concepts of a balanced body and mind and drawn from the approach espoused by the early Greeks, these are the exercises that currently sustain a worldwide revolution in fitness strategies and exercise techniques. Readers will learn the original 34 exercises that Pilates taught to his students, many of whom have become exercise gurus in their own right. These carefully designed exercises are the result of decades of scientific study, experimentation and research into the variety of physical ills that upset the balance of body and mind. In this book, readers will learn the exercises that Joseph Pilates recommended to accompany the basic advice regarding posture, body mechanics, correct breathing, spinal flexibility, and physical education.

About the Author At the beginning of the First World War, Joseph Pilates was imprisoned in England along with many Germans who happened to be living at the time in and around Lancaster, England. He was a German national who had been boxing and performing in England prior to 1914. While living in the Camp, he taught other residents the series of exercises that he had developed for personal use over the preceding decades both in Germany and in England. His own exercise sets drew strongly from his studies of yoga and Zen, as well as ancient Roman and Greek exercise regimens.

Pia Mellody creates a framework for identifying codependent thinking, emotions and behaviour and provides an effective approach to recovery. Mellody sets forth five primary adult symptoms of this crippling condition, then traces their origin to emotional, spiritual, intellectual, physical and sexual abuses that occur in childhood. Central to Mellody's approach is the concept that the codependent adult's injured inner child needs healing. Recovery from codependence, therefore, involves clearing up the toxic emotions left over from these painful childhood experiences.

Pia Mellody is an internationally renowned lecturer on the childhood origins of emotional dysfunc-tion. Her recovery work-shops have benefited people all over the world and her bestselling books have been translated into many languages. She is a member of the faculty at The Meadows Treatment Center, a residential center for victims of trauma, emotional abuse, and addictions, in Wickenburg, Arizona.

This edition represents a thorough-going revision of what has become a classic text in biomedical ethics. Major structural changes mark the revision. The authors have added a new concluding chapter on methods that, along with its companion chapter on moral theory, emphasizes convergence across theories, coherence in moral justification, and the common morality. They have simplified the opening chapter on moral norms which introduces the framework of prima facie moral principles and ways to specify and balance them. Together with the shift of advanced material on theory to the back of the book, this heavily revised introductory chapter will make it easier for the wide range of students entering bioethics courses to use this text. Another important change is the increased emphasis on character and moral agency, drawing the distinction between agents and actions. The sections on truth telling, disclosure of bad news, privacy, conflicts of interest, and research on human subjects have also been thoroughly reworked. The four core chapters on principles (respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice) and the chapter on professional-patient relationships retain their familiar structure, but the authors have completely updated their content to reflect developments in philosophical analysis as well as in research, medicine, and health care. Throughout, they have used a number of actual cases to illuminate and to test their theory, method, and framework of principles.

In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author guides the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk. The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of the body in dance, exercise, and other physical disciplines.

In this newly-revised edition, a majority of the thousand-plus illustrations are new or have been modified by the author from the original edition. The text has also been updated, and the sequencing of the presentation of the musculoskeletal anatomy has been revised in part.
