Welcome to Anatomics! A funtastic adventure into the inside of you. Join Pinky and her friend Dr. Bonyfide as they travel through time and space (with the help of their trusty Historator), in search of mysterious and powerful amber. Unless a villain from beyond by the name of Agent mandible beats them to the punch...Did we mention Dr. Bonyfide is a walking, talking skeleton?

An in-depth look at the human skeletal system.

Examines the structure of the human skeleton and how it works in conjunction with the muscular, circulatory, nervous, respiratory and digestive systems of the human body.

We don’t often think about it, but we’d be a pile of skin and other organs without our bones. This helpful guide to the human skeleton presents readers with a key body system. They will be acquainted with groups of bones such as the spine and skull and learn what they need to do to keep their bones healthy. Carefully chosen photographs and illustrations support the accessible text, which is a valuable introduction to several key biology concepts.

A lively, illustrated exploration of the 500-million-year history of bone, a touchstone for understanding vertebrate life and human culture. Human bone is versatile and entirely unique: it repairs itself without scarring, it’s lightweight but responds to stresses, and it’s durable enough to survive for millennia. In Bones, orthopedic surgeon Roy A. Meals explores and extols this amazing material that both supports and records vertebrate life. Inside the body, bone proves itself the world’s best building material. Meals examines the biological makeup of bones; demystifies how they grow, break, and heal; and compares the particulars of human bone to variations throughout the animal kingdom. In engaging and clear prose, he debunks familiar myths—humans don’t have exactly 206 bones—and illustrates common bone diseases, like osteoporosis and arthritis, and their treatments. Along the way, he highlights the medical innovations—from the first X-rays to advanced operative techniques—that enhance our lives and introduces the giants of orthopedic surgery who developed them. After it has supported vertebrate life, bone reveals itself in surprising ways—sometimes hundreds of millions of years later. With enthusiasm and humor, Meals investigates the diverse roles bone has played in human culture throughout history. He highlights allusions to bone in religion and literature, from Adam’s rib to Hamlet’s skull, and uncovers its enduring presence as fossils, technological tools, and musical instruments ranging from the Tibetan thighbone kangling horn to everyday drumsticks. From the dawn of civilization through to the present day, humankind has repurposed bone to serve and protect, and even to teach, amuse, and inspire. Approachable and entertaining, Bones richly illuminates our bodies’ essential framework.
