Bone and Bones. Fundamentals of Bone Biology

DONOVAN J. MCCUNE

At the time of the publication of this volume both authors were working in schools of dentistry; according to their prefatory statement, the senior writer is a pathologist and the junior an anatomist. These facts may account for the excellence of the portions of the book which are devoted to the architectural and developmental features of bone and the relative poverty of the parts which deal with the clinical aspects of disorders of the skeleton.

It is at once apparent that, while the authors' experience is chiefly of the maxilla and mandible, they are able to extrapolate this experience to the interpretation of normal and abnormal bone biology in other parts of the skeleton. The interpretation is more anatomic than physiologic and lacks a detailed discussion of the chemical aspects of osteogenesis and of skeletal homeostasis but with these reservations, the nonclinical portions of the treatise are good.
