Continuing in the format of the highly successful Human and Nonhuman Bone Identification: A Color Atlas (ISBN: 978-1-4200-6286-1), this book presents new images of human bones representing many states of maturation from neonate to 20 years old. Including nearly 3,500 color photographs, the book extends the scope of the former work by focusing on the smaller bones of fetuses and young humans and comparing them to bones of birds, reptiles, marine mammals, fish, and a frog that may be confused with those of a subadult human.
