Editorial Reviews

"The book covers...key foundations of anatomy and physiology; focusing primarily on the musculoskeletal system, as well as providing a basic introduction to the body systems. Detailed but simple diagrams illustrate joint movement and muscle structure, and photographs show the range of normal movement for joints and limbs."
