Review "More than just clear, concise, and accurate, Dimons Anatomy of the Moving Body also wonderfully expresses the joy of musculoskeletal anatomic understanding—its marvelous vocabulary and endlessly fascinating relations of structure and function."—John H. M. Austin, MD, Professor of Radiology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University"Anatomy of the Moving Body is a superb work for students and teachers. Ted Dimons work is straightforwardly written, beautifully illustrated, and put forth with a sensibility of one who understands not simply how we are organized, but how our structure is able to move with grace and beauty. The conversational tone makes the book accessible and the information is conveyed with a sense not only of where things lie, but how they can operate most harmoniously. This book is an important contribution to our understanding of anatomy and an essential part of the training of those of us who are interested in the human form in balance, health, and motion."—Anne Bluethenthal, Dancer, Teacher, Choreographer Review Quote "More than just clear, concise, and accurate, DimonsAnatomy of the Moving Bodyalso wonderfully expresses the joy of musculoskeletal anatomic understanding-its marvelous vocabulary and endlessly fascinating relations of structure and function." -John H.
