Humanismo y Renacimiento

I am a Polarity student so this book was a a great addition to my library. The illustrations are fantastic, very detailed and clear. The book arrived in perfect condition and in a timely manner. Anatomy of Movement presents a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of the physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movements of the human body. In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author guides the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk. The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of the body in dance, exercise, and other physical disciplines. In this newly-revised edition, a majority of the thousand-plus illustrations are new or have been modified by the author from the original edition. The text has also been updated, and the sequencing of the presentation of the musculoskeletal anatomy has been revised in part.

"Emphasis is on basic human anatomy as it relates to external body movement which mainly concerns bones, muscles, & joints...will be particularly useful to those who deal with integrated or complex movements of the body."
