Bones and Muscles: An Illustrated Anatomy is designed for pro- fessionals who work with the body—for physical therapists and massage therapists, as well as for students, professors of anatomy, and physicians. People who are interested in aero- bics, dance, or sports and are interested in their musculature will find this book informative. Additionally, artists interest- ed in drawing the figure would benefit from studying it.

Going from the top to the bottom—from head to toe—I shall illustrate all of our bones and voluntary muscles. For each part of the body I illustrate the bones involved, and with drawings and text show how and where the muscles attach to them.
In making my drawings I have referred to Gray’s Anatomy, long considered the definitive anatomy book, Frank Netter’s
Atlas of Human Anatomy, Grant’s Atlas of Anatomy, Carmine D. Clemente’s Anatomy—A Regional Atlas of the Human Body,and R.M. H. McMinn and R. T. Hutching’s Color Atlas of Human Anatomy and finally Werner Spalteholz’s Hand Atlas of Human Anatomy. I have also worked from my own drawings done from dissections. I have done the skeleton drawings from my own skulls, backbone and pelvis, other bones loaned by friends, and from whole skeletons owned by acquaintances.
