(from the cover) [This book] is a complete, lecture-based course in bones, muscles, and joints designed specifically for dancers and movement educators. With thirty-one elegantly illustrated chapters, each covering a distinctive region of the body, Dimon simultaneously demystifies and brings to life the structure and mechanics of the human body. Topics discussed are: etymology of anatomical terms; origins and attachments of muscles and related actions; discussion of major functional structures such as the pelvis, shoulder girdle, ankle, and hand; major landmarks and human topography; and structures related to breathing and vocalization.
