Product Description
Anatomy of Movement presents a dynamic, integrated approach to the study of the physical structures of the musculoskeletal system and their functional relationship to the movements of the human body. In clear and concise text illustrated with more than a thousand graphic drawings, the author guides the reader on a lively tour of the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints of the arms, legs and trunk. The focus throughout the book is on anatomy not for its own sake, but in its functional relationship to the actual movements of the body in dance, exercise, and other physical disciplines. In this newly-revised edition, a majority of the thousand-plus illustrations are new or have been modified by the author from the original edition. The text has also been updated, and the sequencing of the presentation of the musculoskeletal anatomy has been revised in part.

 an excellent way to learn anatomical terminology July 31, 2010
Nicholas Van Borst (new york)
I purchased this book for the purpose of learning the action of the skeletal muscles, but ultimately I think I benefited more from its presentation of anatomical terminology. Calais-Germain presents the technical terms used to describe the human body and its movements in a succinct and understandable way, and her repetition of the terms along with the accompanying illustrations is a huge help for remembering them.
after reading this book, I found I had acquired a language that not only made it possible for me to precisely describe movements, but also developed an enriched understanding of my own body and the movements it is capable of.
the only reason I give the book four stars is that the images do not always give a good sense of the three dimensional arrangement of the muscles; I was sometimes confused about which muscles were superficial and which ones were deep. Trail Guide to the Body does a much better job in this regard.
