Bones. Inside and outside
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
A lively illustrated story about 500 million years of bone history - a cornerstone for understanding the life of vertebrates, our health, history of people and human culture.
The human bone is universal and completely unique. It heals itself without scars, it is light, but resistant to the load, it is so durable that it lasts millennia. The surgeon-orthopedist Roy Miles explores and extols this amazing material, without which the life of the vertebrates is impossible.
inside the body, the bone manifests itself as the best building material in the world. The author considers its biological composition, refutes myths about how the bones grow, break and heal, compares the features of their structure in a person with various variations in other representatives of the animal kingdom. In a clear and convincing manner, he refutes the common ideas - for example, that a person has exactly 206 bones - and also talks about frequent bone diseases, including osteoporosis and arthritis and their treatment. Along the way, he explains medical innovations - from the first x -rays to advanced surgical techniques - and introduces the reader to the giants of orthopedic surgery that created them and facilitated our lives.
Having completed its task in the body of the spinal, the bone can very unexpectedly manifest itself after hundreds of millions of years later. Miles enthusiastically and humor talks about many roles that have played in human culture for centuries. He writes about the mention of bones in religion and literature - from the ribs of Adam to the Hamlet skull, about their stable presence in fossil residues, about the use of bones as tools and even to create musical instruments starting from the Tibetan horn of Ganlin from the femoral bone and ending with ordinary drum sticks. From its very origin, humanity finds all new applications to Kosties - they not only serve us support and protection, but also teach, entertain and give inspiration.
This book is an affordable, interesting and rich story about a frame, which our body cannot be dispensed with.
The book opens up a series of books of popular medicine Body. Instructions . These are well -designed medical books from doctors and scientists - leading experts in their fields, who increase the level of awareness and awareness of the human body (how it works, how it works, whether there are problems and how to prevent them).
For whom this book
For those who want to learn about the structure of the bone, the formation and development of the human skeleton.
For those who want to learn more about bones as a biological and cultural phenomenon.
It is also for those who want to draw knowledge about bone health.
From the author
The bone is produced directly at the place of operation (in the body of a living creature) It is light, durable and adapts to changing conditions. The steel bridge cannot double its length or bearing capacity, and the bone grows and reacts to the load. Moreover, the bone repairs itself: neither a broken brick, nor a broken spoon of metal, plastic or wood have this property. The bone is not just the best structural material in the world, but also a large bank that contains vital elements (primarily calcium) and, if necessary, gives them to the body.
The bone is a widespread and universal material, but we rarely see the living bone, so the bones seem to us somewhat mysterious. But when the bone serves its owner, this amazing and mysterious material receives a chance to prove itself in a variety of places and destinations, sometimes after hundreds of millions of years later. The bone can tell us a lot about the history of the planet and the life of animals on it. Even at the dawn of civilization, people began to use the bone as a tool, use it to protect and even for entertainment and inspiration. Thus, the naked bone is no less interesting than the hidden, and by the end of this narrative you will be sure that it is better not to find the material
