This volume collates information never before assembled in one volume. Profusely illustrated with high quality drawings, it also provides a complete description of the adult skeleton and its anomalies.

• Contains an extensive bibliography and comprehensive index

"No previous publication provides a complete, richly illustrated, systematic account of every element of the immature skeleton and a summary of all of the main relevant publications from the past 300 years with an emphasis on documented specimens. This book should be in every medical and anthropological library. Rating *****

"...without doubt a worth addition to the field of anatomy and should be a strong "must have" for anyone interested in the growing human, whether from a clinical, forensic or archeological point of view. It should also find an indispensable place on the shelves of the libraries of all institutions where teaching and understanding of human anatomy is an important component of any courses and their specification or curricula." - Journal of Anatomy
"Scheuer and Black have taken on the monumental task of producing a much-needed reference, and they have succeeded... Each chapter is beautifully illustrated with various views of the bones and their respective features and epiphyses... These authors have invested heavily in researching the literature as well as museum collections in order to create Developmental Juvenile Osteology. Anyone who works with human skeletal remains in any context would greatly benefit from having this text as part of his or her library." - American Journal of Physical Anthropology
