Book SynopsisThe Vital Psoas Muscle presents an in-depth look at the most important yet abused skeletal muscle in the human body. Located deep within the front hip joint and lower spine, the psoas is critical for optimal postural alignment, movement, and overall well being. Its function and importance extend beyond anatomical mechanics to the nerve complex and energy systems. Taking a uniquely holistic approach, this book explores how the psoas affects the health of the body, mind, and spirit: Physically, as the only muscle that connects the upper and lower body Emotionally, as a messenger to and from the brain and a vessel of deeply rooted feelings Spiritually, as an integrator within the root of the lower chakras, subtly affecting the flow of life energy throughout the body Understanding and working with the psoas can help: Alleviate lower back pain Strengthen the core Correct posture Reduce trauma Open energy channels No matter our level of fitness or flexibility, how we use the psoas and take care of it is crucial to our life experience. With detailed illustrations and key stretching and strengthening exercises, including complete chapters on the role of the psoas in Pilates and yoga, The Vital Psoas shows readers how to release this muscle to create balance, harmony, and freedom of movement.Trade Review"This book has enlightened and assisted me in my own personal and professional evolutionary process, and I feel that any reader, after taking this journey with the author, will be able to add a layer of knowledge and enlightenment on their own path to a better understanding of optimal health and function." --Gary Mascilak, D.C., P.T., C.S.C.STable of ContentsAnatomy and Biomechanics of the Psoas Area, Maintaining A Healthy Psoas, The Strain of Lower Back Pain, The Psoas and Pilates, The Connections, When the Psoas Strikes Back, What Do We Know?, The Psoas and Chakra 1 "Kinesthetic Balance", The Psoas and Chakra 2 "Flow Like Water", The Psoas and Chakra 3 "Function Meets Breath"

Book SynopsisWe like to think of ourselves as highly evolved. But if we are evolution''s greatest creation, why are we so badly designed? We have retinas that face backward, we must find vitamins and nutrients in our diets that other animals simply make for themselves and millions of us can''t reproduce successfully without help from modern science. And that''s just the beginning of the story. Biologist Nathan H. Lents takes us on an entertaining and illuminating tour of our four-billion-year-long evolutionary saga, and shows us how each of our flaws tells us a story about our species'' history.Trade ReviewHUMAN ERRORS is outstanding, scholarly yet entertaining. Perhaps inadvertently, this funny book argues that if there is an intelligent designer, he is comically hopeless -- ADAM RUTHERFORDAn entertaining and enlightening guide to human imperfections -- Clive Cookson * FINANCIAL TIMES *Spry, plausible, free from jargon and much better than the usual run of popular science and medical books, which are destined to be shelved in the den of geek, Human Errors is the most enjoyable anatomical study since Jonathan Miller's The Body in Question -- Roger Lewis * THE TIMES *Chatty and humorous... After reading Human Errors, nobody will see their body in the same way again -- William Hartston * DAILY EXPRESS *Like any theme park horror house, it's a thoroughly entertaining ride, crammed full of the bizarre and enlightening and ripe with facts with which to wow dinner party guests -- Katie Burton * GEOGRAPHICAL *In Human Errors, Nathan Lents explores our biological imperfections with style, wit and life-affirming insight. You'll finish it with new appreciation for those human failings that, in so many surprising ways, helped shape our remarkable species -- DEBORAH BLUM, author of The Poisoner's HandbookAn insightful and entertaining romp through the myriad ways in which the human body falls short of an engineering ideal - and the often surprising reasons why -- IAN TATTERSALL, author of Masters of the PlanetAnyone who has aged without perfect grace can attest to the laundry list of imperfections so thoroughly and engagingly considered in Human Errors. This is the best book I've read on how poorly designed our bodies are. I learned something new on every page -- MICHAEL SHERMER, author of Why People Believe Weird Things and The Believing Brain

Book SynopsisIntended for use outside the laboratory and classroom, by professional forensic scientists, anthropologists and researchers, this volume includes the information needed for identification purposes, including hundreds of photographs designed to show a maximum amount of anatomical information. It provides multiple views of every bone in the body.Trade Review"Tim White and Pieter Folkens’s The Human Bone Manual is a terrific addition to the tool kit of osteologists and archaeologists. The book—concise, tightly written, and rich in photographic detail—will be the standard human identification reference for generations to come. Every field project or lab that deals with skeletal remains, ancient or modern, will depend on it." --Clark Spencer Larsen, Distinguished Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, The Ohio State University "As a human osteology manual, this book is an excellent resource for archaeologists, palaeontologists and forensic anthropologists. It is a thoroughly written, well illustrated and can be highly recommended." --Francis Thackeray, Transvaal Museum, Pretoria, South Africa "This volume is a compact form of previously highly successful editions of Human Osteology by these same authors. In its newest form it is somewhat abbreviated, but is nevertheless an extraordinarily accurate and complete guide to all of the fundamentals of osteoanthropology. The illustrations retain their same vivid three dimensional quality as in previous editions, and the accuracy and thorough review of all major methods (aging, sexing, excavation, laboratory care, etc.) have been retained. It is the perfect companion text and manual for any undergraduate or graduate human osteology course, and is equally highly recommended as well to students of medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, chiropractic, etc., simply because it presents such clear and instructive presentations of fundamental human anatomy. It is, quite simply, the best human anatomy manual currently available." --C. Owen Lovejoy, Kent State UniversityTable of ContentsPreface 1. Introduction 2. Field Procedures for Skeletal Remains 3.

Book SynopsisDescribes the visible and palpable anatomy that forms the basis of clinical examination. This book considers the anatomical terms needed for precise description of the parts of the body and movements from the anatomical positions. It features colour photographs that demonstrate visible anatomy.Trade Review"An extraordinary work of art that in my opinion deserves a prize. Structures are shown on anatomical figures by means of numbers, or outlines in the case of bones, or coloured green or brown for other organs. The author says that one of the objects is to illustrate palpable anatomy that 'can be seen, felt, moved or listened to' and should be 'supplemented by self examination.'"

Book SynopsisWe owe a great debt to Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797–1849) for his Atlas of Anatomy, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published. Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782–1871), a student of the French painter Jacques Louis David. The first volumes were published the following year, but completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication; Bourgery lived just long enough to finish his labor of love, but the last of the treatise’s eight volumes was not published in its entirety until five years after his death. The eight volumes of Bourgery’s treatise cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacob’s spectacular hand-colored lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research. Unsurpassed to this day, the images offer exceptional anatomical insight, not only for those in the medical field but also for artists, students, and anyone interested in the workings and wonder of the human body.Trade Review“A gorgeous compendium of anatomical drawings from the mid-19th century… one senses the awe the body once commanded when it was a new, uncharted world begging for exploration.” * i-D Magazine *

Book SynopsisThis practical and engaging coloring book helps yoga teachers and students develop their knowledge of the human body. Enhancing your yoga anatomy knowledge beyond basic training can improve your understanding of the biomechanics of the human body as well as how to reduce chances of injury. Katie Lynch covers physiology of the breath, movements of the joints, workings of the spine, shoulders and pelvis and in-depth muscle information, providing anatomical drawings to color in and so allowing learners to visually connect with the new information.The second part of the book introduces Asana Anatomy specifically related to yoga postures, which shows the reader how to break down the knowledge and apply it to specific asanas. Featuring 100+ illustrations and backed by rigorous scientific knowledge, it is the ultimate tool for all those interested in practising yoga effectively and safely.Trade ReviewThis is a comprehensive visual guide to muscles, bones, joints and movement patterns as they relate to yoga. Even for those who are less interested in colouring, the book provides a useful refresher of yoga anatomy for trainee and established teachers alike. I particularly liked the section on asana anatomy which is a handy reminder of what is happening in the body when we practise selected poses. -- Sian O'Neill, Editor, Yoga Teaching Handbook and Yoga Student HandbookKatie Lynch's Complete Yoga Anatomy Colouring Book is a happy addition to my library of yoga books. Colouring has long been recognised for its therapeutic qualities, and the mindful act of colouring in images of muscles we use every day on our yoga mat reinforces and deepens the awareness in a very gentle, considerate manner. We don't have to stress ourselves by being out-faced with long words we feel we have to remember: as if by magic, the words accompany the images we have brought to life through colouring. This awareness in turn seeps into our practice, and we are able to relate more organically with our iliopsoas as we manoeuvre from Virabhadrasana I to II, say; or we are able to more fully comprehend the incredible power of the diaphragm as we hang out in Urdhva Dhanurasana; or, having moved our nicely sharpened crayon over the attachment for the soleus muscle, it is as if switching on an inner illumination. Aha! So that's where it attaches. Last week I didn't even know it existed ... And so, as our neurons bend, flex, extend and rotate, abduct and adduct - both internally and externally - to the inner rhythm, we regress to progress. Whether one is a yoga practitioner, teacher, student, student teacher or teacher of teachers - or all of the above - this is a book worth making time for. -- Wendy TeasdillThis will make understanding asana and the interaction of the muscles so much easier. A must for new teachers, but will also help established teachers to re-inspire our teaching or sharpen our understanding. * Hazel Faithfull, BWY Teacher *Table of ContentsSection one: Anatomy. 1.

Book SynopsisOur bodies are the only things we ever truly own, yet most of of us haven't got a clue what they are made of and how they manage to grow, thrive and survive everything we chuck at them. In this delightful little book, the smallest of its kind ever produced, Dr Betts tells the incredible story of the human body, and how it got to where it is today. With useful appendices and a glossary. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with information.

"Genuinely mind-expanding" FORTEAN TIMES. "Excellent" NEW SCIENTIST. "Stunning" NEW YORK TIMES. Small books, big ideas.Trade Review"... short and witty... rich and artful..." - The Lancet "Descriptions of DNA, the cell, embryology, and the heart are curiously interspersed with the ancient humours, the odd numerology of bodily proportions, and eastern systems of chakras and kundalini. Betts fosters a sense of overall connectedness despite chasms of scale and religion. I felt I was reading a distillation of ancient alchemical tomes, a 19th-century Matt Ridley, or perhaps even Paracelsus for Dummies, and while the text is beguilingly simple, it is neither dumbed down nor stripped of scientific vocabulary" - Noah Raizman in The Lancet"

Book SynopsisSimple, step-by-step instructions on how to draw, learn and interpret the anatomy you need to know as a medical student. More than a simple colouring book, this unique title shows you how to draw key anatomical structures. This active drawing process reinforces learning and aids understanding and retention. An overview illustration and detailed explanation is followed by instructions to show you how to draw the anatomy yourself one simple step at a time – this methodical approach will help you remember what goes where! Features hundreds of full-colour hand-drawn illustrations that are easy to copy and remember – you don’t have to be a brilliant artist, you just need some coloured pens and blank paper … Chapters cover from head to toe, via the skin, cardiac anatomy and the respiratory system – everything you need is described. “The easy, proven way to actively learn anatomy"Trade ReviewAn incredibly helpful resource to learn anatomy ! ‘Anatomy can be challenging to grasp due to its complexities but that’s where I found Quick Draw Anatomy to be really helpful because of its hand-drawn illustrations strike the perfect balance between simplicity and detail, which made visualising relations between structures much easier and really aided in grasping key anatomical concepts. On a more personal note, I found the drawing guides along with the illustrations to be incredibly beneficial in consolidating my what I had learnt because it tested my understanding regarding the positions of structures in relation to one another. Overall I believe this is a key resource for students learning anatomy as it provides clarity to a very complex subject through its simplified approach.' Amazon reviewer Great Anatomy Book!!! ‘I find anatomy at Medical School really tricky and this book has helped me out lots! It's great to visualise the anatomical structures and by drawing them out yourself you can fully visualise the placement and overall cohesive structure. It does include lots of detail so enables you as a student to work through the drawing easily. I find that drawing the structures on a whiteboard and then having to challenge myself to name them useful too! I recommend this book to anyone who really likes a bit of drawing and wants to learn in a different, more visual and relaxing way.' Amazon reviewer Table of Contents1. Head, neck and neuro-anatomy 2.
