Alexander, R. McNeill BONES The Unity of Form and Function
Macmillan 1994 0025836757 / 9780025836754 First Edition Hardcover Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
HC/DJ - fine/near fine. Hardcover is clean and unmarked, slight corner bumping. Jacket has light scuffing, light edge curling, one tear to spine bottom.. 222 pages. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 222 pages; Here, in stunning color photographs, is the awesome beauty of bones-their form, structure, and movement-as they perfectly serve the design of living creatures. Few creations of nature display the perfect unity of form and function found in the vertebrate skeleton. Ingeniously designed by the processes of evolution, bones are marvels of engineering. In tribute to both the beauty and mechanics of its subject, Bones explores the structure, material, and movement of bones. It examines the composition of bone material, looks at joints and muscle attachments that allow for movement-including such elaborate mechanisms as fish jaws, rattlesnake fangs, and a lion's retractable claws-and shows how the same bone is shaped wildly differently in a variety of animals. A wealth of specially commissioned color plates shows bones as they have seldom been seen before... (*Note: due to heavy weight, there will be an extra shipping charge) [1.5 kg]
