Schwartz presents a detailed yet highly accessible introduction to the study of the human skeleton. This unique volume examines the skeleton from its developmental basis to the expression of individual variation. It reviews a variety of different approaches used to determine an individual's sex, age, and pathological history and challenges readers to think critically about how to analyze a human skeleton rather than learning formulas for quick results. An ideal text for courses in human osteology, skeletal analysis, and bioarchaeology, this book is also a helpful reference for professionals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of \u003cem\u003eSkeleton Keys\u003c\/em\u003e features: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e* The companion website contains hundreds of color images of skeletons and skeletal elements--demonstrating morphology, pathology, and nonmetric variation--that can be used as classroom projections or for individual study \u003cbr\u003e* Coverage of the most recent developments in the field, including the molecular regulation of bone and tooth formation\u003cbr\u003e* Expanded studies in each area of analysis: sex, age, nonmetric variation, pathology, biodistance and bioarchaeology, and stable isotope analysis\u003cbr\u003e* Additional photographic images, especially in the pathology and sexing chapters\u003cbr\u003e* Two separate and extensively illustrated chapters on the skull, one dealing with articulated elements and one with isolated bones (these topics were covered in one chapter in the first edition)\u003cbr\u003e* Integration of material--such as anthropometric landmarks--from appendices in the previous edition into relevant chapters as tables\u003cbr\u003e* More accessible language throughout and an extensive glossary\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47892019806359,"sku":"9780195188592","price":8948.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195188592.webp?v=1781185486","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/skeleton-keys-an-introduction-to-human-skeletal-morphology-development-and-analysis-with-cdrom-9780195188592","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
