This book is meant for especially those peoples or artists, Namely Sculptors and Painters or Students who are studying human anatomy or Fine Art. As a Sculptor, Netra Khattri has made this book with the language of Art (Sculpture), how muscles attach to the human skeleton, and from where the muscle originates and inserts with muscle function.This book is a dream come true, firstly Netra Khattri saw as human muscles in sculpture terms, then beginning to end not only human bone and muscles but distinct stages: Skeleton, half muscled figure and mainly origin, insertion, and function of muscles too. The reader may come into this process of evolution and metamorphosis at any time, for any kind of specific reference: at the skeleton to see how the bones and muscles are constructed.But there are more interesting facts in human anatomy than here. The difference between this book shows the Ecorche sculpting process in finished anatomical references rather than, other anatomy book shows drawings of muscles attach to bone and structures of human anatomy.
The concept of this book came from the other co-author Uldis Zarins, a classically trained sculptor. While he's learning sculpting, he was frustrated by the lack of anatomy books for sculptors, and so he decided to create such a book. The book was crowd-funded successfully on Kickstarter in May 2013.

In addition to the usual standing figures, there are many examples of stretched muscles that come from different body postures such as twisting torso, arms moving from the top, front of chest, side, and to the back, behind the head and hand on shoulder. This is helpful because you don't have to second guess how any muscle will look like when in stretched mode or moving into different positions. Other anatomy books mostly show just the front, sides and back of the body and limbs, with the muscles in relaxed state.
After college, Uldis enrolled in the Art Academy of Latvia (Latvijas Makslas Akademija). There, same as in college, emphasis was placed on exercises, not on the understanding of how to create the form. Each time Uldis created a new sculpture, he made preparations, not only to arrange the frame and the edge, but also drew a small paper sketch where he could analyze the form in an understandable way. Over the course of several years, drawings, sketches, anatomy books and successful photographs were accrued. Uldis began to notice, that the sketches he had created, as well as images, were in high demand among colleagues. He often heard the suggestion that he should collect them all and publish a book, which would be a composite of form analysis, as well as fundamental information about anatomy that sculptors would need to know. This was how Uldis came up with the idea for the creation of the book.
