Key features:
Only text to focus on principles of body construction from their developmental, functional, comparative, and evolutionary underpinnings, rather than forcing memorization of excruciating anatomical details
Engagingly written by a distinguished, award-winning, and internationally renowned medical doctor, researcher, author, and educator
Provides an exciting alternative to "naming of the parts" books traditionally used to teach human anatomy
