Preface:
This edition of TEXTBOOK OF HUMAN OSTEOLOGY has been prepared keeping in mind the requirements of undergraduate and postgraduate students. This edition incorporates a large number of changes that should make it much more useful. 1. The entire text has been thoroughly edited and revised to improve readibility. Special effort has been made to have the text as near as possible to the relevant illustration. 2. Almost all the illustrations have been improved both with regard to appearance and to content. 3. The value of the book has been greatly increased by the addition of an entirely new part presenting an atlas of muscle attachments. I believe that students will find the atlas very useful as it will considerably reduce the burden of remembering the numerous attachments of muscles to the skeleton. I am grateful to the numerous teachers of Anatomy who have encouraged me in my book writing endeavours. I am equally grateful to the many students who have written letters, and have provided useful suggestions. The support of Mr. J.P. Vij (CMD of Jaypee Brothers) has been vital to the publication of this edition, and I am deeply indebted to him. Rohtak 2008 INDERBIR SINGH
