The Photographic Regional Atlas of Bone Disease is an essential resource designed to meet the needs of a diverse audience, including paleopathologists, physical anthropologists, police, crime scene technicians, medical examiners, radiologists, anatomists, and other medical specialists, regardless of their training or experience.
This comprehensive atlas, originally developed as a manual for physical anthropologists, has evolved into a crucial reference for anyone examining skeletal remains or dealing with bone disease, particularly in dry-bone specimens. Over the years, it has gained recognition as one of the few ‘required’ manuals found in most skeletal laboratories across the United States and many other countries.
Key Features of the Regional Atlas
- Bridging Disciplines: The book successfully bridges the gap between clinical medicine, radiology, and physical anthropology, providing researchers with a single source and photographic atlas of what they may encounter in bone analysis.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Compiled by biological anthropologists, the atlas employs a ‘dry bones’ approach and uses simple yet precise terminology, drawing from the examination of nearly 10,000 skeletons.
- Diverse Expertise: The authors’ expertise spans anatomy, radiology, pathology, and human variation, allowing them to distinguish between normal variations and pathological conditions effectively.
