"In this medieval ecclesiastical thriller set in early 14th-century Europe, Burman tells of the struggle between Philip the Fair, King of France, and the Catholic Church to obtain a mysterious but potent relic belonging to the Order of the Knights Templar. The relic could sway the balance of power in a struggle for control of the church. Burman has woven an interesting and suspenseful tale based upon his speculation on the provenance of a prominent medieval relic. Characterization is not always consistent, and the early chapters suffer from some muddled plotting, but when the tale picks up speed, there's entertaining reading." Dean James Library Journal

"An anthropologist and an anatomist have combined their skills in this book to provide students and research workers with the essentials of anatomy and the means to apply these to investigations into hominid form and function. Using basic principles and relevant bones, conclusions can be reached regarding the probable musculature, stance, brain size, age, weight, and sex of a particular fossil specimen. The sort of deductions which are possible are illustrated by reference back to contemporary apes and humans, and a coherent picture of the history of hominid evolution appears. Written in a clear and concise style and beautifully illustrated, An Introduction to Human Evolutionary Anatomy is a basic reference for all concerned with human evolution as well as a valuable companion to both laboratory practical sessions and new research using fossil skeletons."… Read More
