Book Reviews of The Human Bone Manual
Book Review: Wonderful book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book because I was interested in forensic osteology. I absolutely loved this book. It is well written, well organized, and includes every topic. It is easy to read because it is sectioned up so nicely. It is true that this is more of a "field guide" but at the ame time it could easily be used for somebody who is simply interested in reading about the subject. I am strongly interested in this subject and am considering going into it when I start college. I was tired of reading osteology books that are created solely for the public. They don't go deep into the subject and you can't learn about the things the things that you would learn if youwere taking an actual class.
I strongly recommend this book to not only people who want to use it for school but also for citizens who want to deeply learn about human osteology.
I also want to mention the nice spine. It lies flat ona desk or table which is really nice. The water resistant cover is also a plus because it not only protects against water but you can wash off any stains or smudges(without ruining it) you get from laying the book on a lead covered desk or a food filled backback.
BTW: If your going to read this book as a non-student of this field I suggest you print out a picture of labled skeleton because it is helpful to know the bones they are talking about! lol.
