Anatomy of the Moving Body addresses that need with a simple yet complete study of the body's complex system of bones, muscles, and joints and how they function. Beautifully illustrated with more than 100 3D images, the book contains 31 lectures that guide readers through this challenging interior landscape. Each part of the body is explained in brief, manageable sections, with components described singly or in small groups. The author doesn’t just name the muscles and bones but explains the terminology in lay language. Topics include the etymology of anatomical terms; origins and attachments of muscles and their related actions; discussion of major functional systems such as the pelvis, ankle, shoulder girdle, and hand; major landmarks and human topography; and structures relating to breathing and vocalization. This second edition features all-new illustrations that use a 3D digital model of the human anatomical form. The book's thoroughness, visual interest, and clear style make it ideal for students and teachers of the Alexander and Feldenkrais techniques as well as for practitioners of yoga, Pilates, martial arts, and dance.Direct download links available for PRETITLE Anatomy of the Moving Body, Second Edition: A Basic Course in Bones, Muscles, and Joints [Kindle Edition] POSTTITLE

Anatomy of the Moving Body, Second Edition: A Basic Course in Bones, Muscles, and Joints PDF

In "Anatomy of the Moving Body," Theodore Dimon, Jr. approaches his subject from a unique and focused perspective. By presenting anatomy in terms of function and evolutionary development and limiting his exploration to the neuromuscular system, Dimon has produced a book that is both user-friendly and fascinating. He manages the neat trick of lending clarity to this majestic subject while avoiding the pitfall of oversimplification. Of special interest in this regard is the light beam he shines into the murky shadows of intimidating anatomical terminology, showing the reader that there's nothing there to fear.

The subtitle of the book is "A Basic Course For Movement Educators. This provides the book with an organizing principle, but fails to convey the book's potentially broad appeal. It could be read with pleasure by all homo sapiens who wish to gain an enhanced understanding and appreciation of their evolutionary inheritance.

Some anatomy books seem as if they are written deliberately complicated. That's my take. Not this one. If you are just starting Massage Therapy classes. I highly recommend you get this book, in addition to your course required books. Read your required book chapters and then follow up with this one. He's not "trippin" on his "Dr" Dimon Jr. title. On the book cover he even leaves his "Dr" title out of his name, but he is a Dr.(a Harvard graduate). He presents the material in his book like a good instructor would in class....so you can understand. It's not written to show how smart he is. It is written so the person without knowledge of the musculoskeletal system can gain some. Actually, I think the book is a compilation of lectures he has given at the Dimon Institute. Yes, the "Dimon" Institute for the Alexander Technique in Cambridge. Don't miss out on a very knowledgeable author that knows how to convey his knowledge to other. Anatomy is anatomy, that doesn't change, but it's his presentation that is so good. Look at the price, very inexpensive compared to the 100.+ books you may be required to purchase. He really should charge more for his book.
