5.0 out of 5 stars
An insightful and beautiful survey of life itself.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bones: The Unity of Form and Function (Hardcover)
Although my initial interest in this book stemmed from a pursuit of amatuer paleontology, I soon discovered that Dr. Alexander had written a very general and succinct discussion of how and why bones are as they are. His presentation ranges from most interesting mechanical considerations to those of esthetics. The very well written text is supported by beautiful photography -- who would have thought that 'bones' could be so interesting?My only regret is that I am reviewing a borrowed copy. Unfortunately, the book is out of print, and I cannot find even a used copy. I intend to contact the publisher and encourage a second printing. Meanwhile, check you library resources. This book is well worth reading and contemplating. G. Patrick Martin, Ph. D.
