| Summary |
"Anatomy of the Moving Body 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 distinct region of the body, Dimon simultaneously demystifies and brings to life the structure and mechanics of the human body. For movement educators who are putting together their own courses on anatomy and require a basic manual to work from, Anatomy of the Moving Body provides not only drawings and names of anatomical structures, but written lectures which tie the material together into a coherent series of presentations |
|
Discussed in detail 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." --North Atlantic books |
