Each page is dominated by the gorgeous illustrations covering
every aspect and view of the structure, the movements and the
dynamics of the human musculoskeletal system. Over 85% of the
pages in the colour edition have colour on them — sometimes
a little, sometimes a lot. The text is set in a clear and charming
font made from the author's hand-printing, and it flows in a
seamless and integrated way around the illustrations, explaining
them, expanding on them, and providing all the detail you will
probably ever need — in other words, a book to come back to
as a reference time and again.
QUOTES ABOUT THE BOOK:
"Mr. Gorman's patience and
brilliance in picturing Human Anatomy has been achieved
without question."
The late PROFESSOR RAYMOND A. DART,
World-renowned discoverer of Australopithecus,
Former Professor Emeritus and Dean of the Faculty of Medicine,
University of Witwatersrand, S. Africa
 "For
the student of motion, this volume is distinctly superior
to all the traditional anatomy textbooks. The drawings and
text are models of clarity for demonstrating the interrelationship
of structure and function. This is a book for beginner or
expert alike. Anatomy here is not forbidding; it is a joy
to learn or review the wondrous facts of the construction
of the moving human body.
At last, here is an ideal anatomic atlas-text for the study
of human movement."
Dr. John H. M. Austin M.D.,
Professor of Radiology,
Columbia University Medical Center,
New York
"I consider Gorman's work a treasure
of useful and interesting information augmented by the artistic
quality of the illustrations, and
the insights into efficient versus inefficient use of
the body which clearly springs from Gorman's teaching experience.
The handwritten text is a charming asset
which further distinguishes this work from many other anatomy
books which do not explain the
close alliance of structure and function so well done in
Gorman's work."
