The Vertebrate Skeleton
Sidney Hugh Reynolds
Every backboned animal, from lamprey to human, is built on one ancient skeletal plan endlessly varied. Sidney Reynolds works through the vertebrate skeleton across the whole family tree, from the primitive chordates to the fishes and beyond. A rigorous comparative anatomy for serious students. Trace the bones that connect a shark to yourself, joint by joint.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
