Change and Challenge in Human Structure - Sixty Years On: From Cutting and Counting, Through Mathematics, Mechanics, Molecules and Modelling, to Brain

Regarded by many as a dead or simply dull subject, Change and Challenge in Human Structure -- Sixty Years On shatters this prejudice with a series of studies that go beyond anatomical dissection and measurement, covering modern computational, physical, engineering, mathematical and modelling approaches to anatomical form. Award-winning anatomist Charles Oxnard takes us on an exhilarating ride, beginning with rudimentary cadaver dissections and the observation of anatomical variations, to modelling of structure and function, interluded by statistical analysis and the morphometric study of form, and expanding to show fascinating connections of anatomy to lifestyle, forensics, and evolution. This book offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of one of the oldest fields of science, and leads us into new views of the functional, developmental, behavioural, genetic and evolutionary implications of anatomical studies.
