Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating: - excellent reference book
This book has helped me to identify human bones associated with artefacts (e.g. spears, shields)on more than one occasion. Virtually all photographs are to scale and the black and white photography shows detail that you can sometimes lose with colour photographs. This book is used as the unofficial textbook for the University of Queensland's (Australia)'Forensic Archaeology' subject.
Rating: - The Human Bone Manual
Excellent reference for travelling and field work as it's half the size of the original edition. I have the original and bought this anyway. The photography is excellent and it gives you a number of views of each element, and examples of normal variation. It also manages not to leave out anything important even though it is smaller (I compared the chapters with the larger edition). But don't rely on this for exhaustive terminology; it's not meant to be a dictionary.
Rating: - Better then Bass
This is a very handy book. As a forensic science graduate student I have been frustrated with Bass for a long time. The pictures are just so bad. The bone manual gives you the great pictures fo White's human osteology in a nice compact Bass sized field book! A great book to add to your library!
Rating: - Good reference for overall study of forensic osteology
This book was quite helpful in the sense that it gives you an overall knowlege of forensic osteology. If you need a book on forensic osteology, this is one of the books that I would suggest.
Rating: - Handy book
As a physical anthropology grad student, I am finding this book to be very useful. The hardcover text is great, but this is transportable and packed with information. Would highly recommend it to anyone in forensics, anthropology.
