"Anatomy of the Body in Motion" is a comprehensive illustrated description of bones, muscles, and joints designed especially for dancers, kinesiology teachers, students, and those involved in somatic therapy. Theodore Dimon removes the veil of mystery from the structures and mechanisms of the human body, infusing them with life. The book contains illustrations using a three-dimensional digital human anatomical model and consists of 31 chapters, each focusing on a specific part of the body. Muscles, bones, and joints are not simply named. Their functions are described in detail in simple and clear language, but at the same time in strict accordance with the accepted anatomical terminology. Everything is clear, concise and precise. This book makes readers excited to understand all skeletal and muscular mechanics. It is written in beautiful language and is an unusually engaging account of anatomical structures and functions. - John Austin, MD, is professor of radiology at Columbia University Medical College. An excellent textbook for students and teachers. Competently written, excellently illustrated. The author not only understands how we are organized, but explains in accessible language how to use this knowledge to achieve harmony in movement. The book is an important contribution to the study of anatomy and should be an essential part of training for those interested in balance, health and plasticity. - Ann Blutenthal, dancer, teacher, choreographer
