520    "The vertebrate skeleton is one of nature's most amazing 
       feats. 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.
