Book excerpt: The Atlas of Musculo-skeletal Anatomy is the 'parent' of the best-selling 'The Concise Book of Muscles' (0954318811, GBP16.99), and has been written as the complete reference guide for all students and practitioners of anatomy, massage / bodywork, physical therapy, chiropractic, medicine, physiotherapy, or any other health-related field. Containing over 500 full-colour and 50 black and white illustrations, it is unusually clear, accessible and readable. The first part covers the anatomical movements, tissues, the physiology of bones and muscles, and in-depth information on the joints. The second part of the book clearly identifies the origin, insertion, innervation, blood supply, action, and kinesiology test for each muscle. Thorough research and cross referencing of material from an extensive range of authoritative sources has resulted in a book that can claim an unusual degree of exactitude of information.
