Reviews

I love Jeff Rockwell's forays into the body - poetry, science, good sense, and fun all have a seat at this rich feast of 'bone broth'. Explore your bones in Jeff's inimitable style from within and without, from symbol and substance, and from cranium to tarsum. No matter your level of anatomical proficiency, this book speaks to practitioner and layman alike. -- Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains
