Human Osteology 3rd Edition

Took a while to arrive but that's to be expected with textbooks such as this. Looks great and did not come damaged in any way.

I was not expecting a used book like this to be in such a good condition and I've seen the same book in worse when bought on amazon. Good money spent and came on time.

I bought this textbook because it was assigned for a college course I took, but I ended up keeping it because it's so well-written and informative. It is very interactive and, like my colleagues and professor, I can see why it is gaining popularity in forensic anthropology and osteology studies. It is a bit expensive (like most hardcover textbooks), but it is very easy to read and offers a TON of visuals to make memorizing bone names and parts easier. I'm glad I forked out the money to buy the physical copy.

As a physical/biological Anthropology grad student, this book is tantamount to a bible for me. The pictures are gorgeous, and the text leaves nothing to be desired. As a bonus, can be used to incapacitate any intruders that interupt frantic, late night studying. A great book that goes well with Tim D. White's "Human Bone Manual", which offers a portable and more "bare bones" version to save any injury to your vertebrae while carrying it to class. A great book and must have for physical anthropologists.

I had to get this book for my osteo class during undergrad. I will say the pictures are extremly helpful for finding all the bone structures, as a lot of them will not show up on google images (if you need indepth ones). The rest of the book is fine, I honestly only read like one chapter because I didn't need it for my class. I will say it was worth having the labeled pictures of every bone.

I’ve always known we have 206 bones, but when yo break the body down to parts & study just the bones in each part it seems we must have so many many more! Nothing is missed in this manual & while the pictures are black & white the elements of the bones are definitely captured.

I love this book so much. It gives amazing detailing on the bones and all of it is amazing. Buy it

This is one of those text books you have to keep even though it is very big and heavy. The pictures are VERY helpful in identifying bones. There are different angles on all the bones so you can see most of the features. Some people in my class had older versions of this book and they all look like they get tons of use.
