Meals, MD<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">Synopsis<\/p>\n<p>Human bone is versatile and entirely unique: it repairs itself without scarring, it\u2019s lightweight but responds to stresses, and it\u2019s durable enough to survive for millennia. In\u00a0<i>Bones<\/i>, orthopedic surgeon Roy A. Meals explores and extols this amazing material that both supports and records vertebrate life.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the body, bone proves itself the world\u2019s best building material. Meals examines the biological makeup of bones; demystifies how they grow, break, and heal; and compares the particulars of human bone to variations throughout the animal kingdom. In engaging and clear prose, he debunks familiar myths\u2015humans don\u2019t have exactly 206 bones\u2015and illustrates common bone diseases, like osteoporosis and arthritis, and their treatments. Along the way, he highlights the medical innovations\u2015from the first X-rays to advanced operative techniques\u2015that enhance our lives and introduces the giants of orthopedic surgery who developed them.<\/p>\n<p>After it has supported vertebrate life, bone reveals itself in surprising ways\u2015sometimes hundreds of millions of years later. With enthusiasm and humor, Meals investigates the diverse roles bone has played in human culture throughout history. He highlights allusions to bone in religion and literature, from Adam\u2019s rib to Hamlet\u2019s skull, and uncovers its enduring presence as fossils, technological tools, and musical instruments ranging from the Tibetan thighbone kangling horn to everyday drumsticks. From the dawn of civilization through to the present day, humankind has repurposed bone to serve and protect, and even to teach, amuse, and inspire.<\/p>\n<p>Approachable and entertaining,\u00a0<i>Bones<\/i>\u00a0richly illuminates our bodies\u2019 essential framework.<\/p>\n<p>150 illustrations<\/p>\n<p>See more on OrthopaedicLIST.com by clicking on <a title=\"BONE-OL\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orthopaediclist.com\/product\/2010281-meals.html\" target=\"_blank\">BONE, INSIDE AND OUT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-j\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>WW Norton<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-t\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Amazon<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-u\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Apple Books<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-o\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Barnes and Noble<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-b\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Books-a-Million<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-n\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Bookshop<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-p\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Hudson<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-x\/\" target=\"_blank\">IndieBound<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-m\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Target<\/b><\/a><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsdemystify.createsend1.com\/t\/t-l-xjihukd-l-c\/\" target=\"_blank\"><b>Walmart<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Roy A.
