Composed of cartilage and bone, it forms the supportive structure for all the remaining aspects of our anatomy. Stripped of skin, we can see the body's fascinating underlying architecture. In this one-of-a-kind book, biologist and skeletal reconstructionist Steve Huskey lays bare the vertebrate skeleton, providing a guided tour of the nuanced differences among the many featured vertebrate species. Using skeletal preparations he has spent decades assembling, Huskey helps us understand why animals live the way they do. He shows us the jaw and fang structures that allow venomous snakes to both kill and consume their prey whole. We see that the eastern mole is built like a weightlifter, allowing it to "swim through soil." Startling images demonstrate that the odd-looking trumpetfish is built not for music but for suction, with a skull that expands to vacuum in its prey. The pages of The Skeleton Revealed illuminate not only the elegance of each skeleton, but also the natural history story each skeleton tells. Come along--let's take a voyage through the boneyard."--Back cover. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Skeleton. 650 0 Skeleton|vPictorial works. 650 0 Vertebrates. 650 0 Illustrated books. 650 7 MEDICAL|xAnatomy.|2bisacsh 650 7 SCIENCE|xLife Sciences|xHuman Anatomy & Physiology. |2bisacsh 650 7 Illustrated books.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00967377 650 7 Skeleton.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01119932 650 7 Vertebrates.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01165545 650 7 Anatomie.|2gnd 650 7 Skelett.|2gnd 650 7 Wirbeltiere.|2gnd 650 12 Skeleton. 650 22 Vertebrates. 655 2 Pictorial Work. 655 7 Illustrated works.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 Pictorial works.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 Illustrated works.|2lcgft 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHuskey, Steve, 1973-|tSkeleton revealed |z9781421421483|w(DLC) 2016010142|w(OCoLC)962750029 914 ocn985701050 994 92|bCKE
