Bones: Inside and Out

English

By (author): Roy A. Meals

Bone is ubiquitous and versatile, and uniquely repairs itself without scarring. However, we rarely see bone in its living stateand even then, mostly in two-tone images that only hint at its marvels. After it serves and protects vertebrate lives, bone reveals itself in surprising ways, sometimes hundreds of millions of years later.

In Bones, orthopaedic surgeon Roy Meals explores and extols this amazing material that both supports and records vertebrate life. He demystifies the biological makeup of bones; how they grow, break and heal; and how medical innovationsfrom the first X-rays to advanced surgical techniquesenhance our lives. With enthusiasm and humour, Meals also reveals the enduring presence of bone outside the bodyas fossils, ossuaries, tools, musical instrumentsand celebrates allusions to bone in history, religion and idiom. Approachable and entertaining, Bones richly illuminates our bodies essential framework.
