Comparative Skeletal Anatomy

This is a photographic atlas of common animal bones, designed for use by the forensic scientist or archaeologist. This volume is the first to focus comparatively on both human and animal osteology. It features more than 300 illustrations of skeletons. Throughout, animal bones are photographed alongside the corresponding human bone, allowing the reader to observe size and shape variations.

From the reviews: "The goal is to provide the medico-legal community a resource for the comparison and discrimination of animal and human bone. As the first book of its kind, Comparative Skeletal Anatomy is a well-organized and useful contribution to the forensic literature. ! a systematic and logical means of visually comparing the morphology and size of human bones to common animal counterparts. ! is both a useful resource for archaeologists and medico-legal specialists, as well as a valuable training text for students of human anatomy and osteology." (Tracy L. Rogers, Canadian Society of Forensic Science Journal, August, 2008)
