LOVED this book. Great detail and info, must have for any dancer or anyone studying anatomy.
I ordered this book for my daughter for her college coursework. The book was in great shape and was shipped quickly. Thanks.
I believe I already sent a review, immediately after receiving the product. It came in the mail very fast, I was delighted and recommended the seller.
This is a perfect book for those who want to know more about this subject. I am becomming a pilates teacher and this is a great way to study
I got this book because of my interest in portraying the human figure in fine art and my interest in the human form as a martial artist. For me personally, I have found it very useful to learn the specific purposes of bones and muscles to help understand how they affect the dynamic form of the human body. There are illustrations showing the full figure, but they are designed more to show the movement than to show how the muscle affects form.
The index is useful and provides quick reference to various structures. People interested in general anatomy should know that only bones and muscles, ie. The human body is a complex unit and there isn't really a way to learn about it without a lot of study, but this book is broken down into smaller pieces and shouldn't be too difficult for anyone with a sincere interest to understand.
Artists may also be disappointed by the lack of any description of head and facial muscles. The illustrations have a good balance between detail and simplicity for understanding. For artists without a basic knowledge of surface forms, I would suggest getting an additional reference that also shows the forms of bones and muscles as they fit together.
structures that affect movement, are explained in this book. It has also assisted my martial training by furthering my knowledge of how the human body does and does not move effectively.
