Summary: Bone Biology
Rating: 5
This book is an encyclopedic and thorough survery of normal bone, bone biology, formation, and remodeling. Clincial aspects of bone are also covered in great detail. For a volume this size with multiple authors, the book maintains a uniformly high standard. The illustrations are excellent and color plates are used where necessary. While one plate in Chapter 17 was to go in Chapter 18, it is a minor point. The chapters on the hormonal control of bone remodelling and the discussion of the process of remodelling were particularly interesting and well done. For graduate students or physicians interested in bone biology, the volume is a must!
