Customer Reviews: Fantastic Old BookSeptember 7, 2009 C. F. Mullins(Springfield, OH) I bought this old book used through Amazon.com and I got a great deal.
This is a wonderful book for anyone interested in how the muscles and bones work together to make the body move.
It is much better than Gray's Anatomy and better still than a workout book focused on athletic ability and targeted muscle exercises.
I like the general overview to each area with many sketches in a sequence of tightening field illustrations so that one sees the bigger picture and gets zeroed in as the discussion proceeds to the core of the matter.
My interest is in robotics, humanoid robotics, and I find that the perspective taken here, giving the real lowdown as it were, is essential to understanding how things work so that one can get on with figuring out how to do it differently with other materials.
