Peter J. Ward is an anatomist and (now) author. He has been teaching anatomy, histology, embryology, neuroscience, and the history of medicine for over 15 years and is professor of anatomy at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in the United States. In his spare time he teaches martial arts (arguably anatomy teaching in a different format), reads, cooks, and is lucky to be the husband of a beautiful and hilarious veterinarian and the father to amazing twin sons.
