This new and enlarged third edition contains a new section on hands; selected by Heidi Lenssen; a wide selection of illustrations from the works of Vesalius; Leonardo; Goya; Ingres; Michelangelo; and others; newly augmented with 10 plates from Cloquets "Anatomie de lHomme" and 16 illustrations from Boscays "Anatomy"; 28 photographs of growing children from the research work of Nancy Bayley; plus 6 action studies (each consisting of about 30 photographs) from Muybridge; a bibliography compiled by Adolph Placzek; a total of more than 350 illustrations; showing the placement; function; and characteristics of every anatomical detail of importance to the artist. For more than forty years; this book has been recognized as the most thorough reference work on art anatomy in the world. Now; it recommends itself even more strongly to the serious artist as an important study aid. Among its features are: (1) Clear; systematic presentation; taking the student step by step from the simpler skeletal drawings at the beginning to the more complicated body-in-action sketches at the end. (2) The juxtaposition of anatomical drawings and life photographs; making it easy to compare the inner structure of the body with its outer form. (3) Cross-section drawings that give the artist a thorough understanding of the relation of the muscles to each other; to the bone structure; and to the internal organs of the body. (4) Anatomical action drawings that reveal the interplay of muscles and skeleton in different positions. (5) The comparative proportions of the male; female; child; and adolescent. (6) A supplementary text on important features of each anatomical position; including the action of the muscles and their origin. "I recommend Fritz Schiders Atlas of Anatomy for Artists to those who wish to increase their understanding of the human figure." mdash; Robert Beverly Hale; Lecturer on Anatomy; Art Students League of New York. Adopted by Pratt Institute; Cleveland School of Art; Art Students League of New York; and others.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. great song bookBy Ramblin JamesI was in a book store and saw the book; having owned a few other for Dummy books I bit. I was actually impressed by the amount of songs; but when I got home I found the notes on the songs area in the book and like it lot more. These are blues standards and knowing these songs are where you develop your basic licks department and the selection is good. I would recommend the book to advanced beginners to intermediate blues pickers as a place to learn the classics and move on up in your playing ability. After all; from this point it is just all about mileage.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. excellent bookBy judith jenningsGreat songs and easy to follow the tabs; etc0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
