Ortner's Identification of Pathological Conditions in Human Skeletal Remains Summary

Ortner's Identification of Pathological Conditions in Human Skeletal Remains by Jane Buikstra (Center for Bioarchaeological Research, School of Human Evolution and Social Change, Arizona State University, Tempe, USA)

Ortner's Identification of Pathological Conditions in Human Skeletal Remains, Third Edition, provides an integrated and comprehensive treatment of the pathological conditions that affect the human skeleton. As ancient skeletal remains can reveal a treasure trove of information to the modern orthopedist, pathologist, forensic anthropologist, and radiologist, this book presents a timely resource. Beautifully illustrated with over 1,100 photographs and drawings, it provides an essential text and material on bone pathology, thus helping improve the diagnostic ability of those interested in human dry bone pathology.

Ortner's Identification of Pathological Conditions in Human Skeletal Remains Reviews

This book provides a detailed and integrated description of the paleopathology of the human skeleton...I strongly recommend this book also for basic scientists and clinicians interested in bone diseases since the study of skeletal paleopathology undoubtedly will broaden our understanding of bone biology. ---Peter Peitschmann, Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift This is a comprehensive book that is rare in its field. Highly recommended. --E-Streams, November 2003
