Why read it?
1 author picked The Thorax as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Each time I read this book, I find new depths of understanding. I appreciate its readability while maintaining a stunning level of precision and accuracy. This book reflects my own clinical process and acts as a practical guide.
It is based upon working with real clients and is supported, not handcuffed, by research. I have often found anatomy books to be dry and singular in topic, whereas this book is rich and multilayered.
I now have a deeper understanding of the thorax through the lens of this cohesive, complex system view of the whole body.
From Owen's list on anatomy and movement at books core.
