虽然出版于1988年，但这本杰出的专著提供了相当全面的表格和图表，涵盖了从怀孕到青春期晚期的各种身体尺寸、器官重量和其他几种生长发育。数据包括25-44周胎龄活产婴儿的体重、身长和头围；胚胎发育的表格和图表；排卵后8-24周（可存活）和经期26-40周（可存活）胎儿尺寸、体型、器官重量和骨化数据图表。可存活胎儿的数据还包括基于超声检查的各种尺寸。关于新生儿和产后生长的部分主要由人体测量尺寸、牙齿萌出、骨骼成熟和第二性征的图表组成。新生儿的许多人体测量尺寸都是面部的，在畸形学的研究中很有用。最后一部分展示了各种特定疾病的生长数据和图表（主要是体重、身材和比例），包括软骨发育不全、肌发育不全、远端关节挛缩、唐氏综合征、马凡综合征、多发性翼状胬肉综合征、努南综合征、假性软骨发育不全、镰状细胞病、骨骼发育不良、特纳综合征和威廉姆斯综合征。数据和图表来源于参考文献中包含的各种来源。这是一个很有价值的汇编，为auxologist，特别是那些与临床方向。一个更新的，新的版本在未来几年将是一个极好的补充生长学文献。
Though published in 1988, this outstanding monograph provides a reasonably comprehensive compilation of tables and graphs for a variety of body dimensions, organ weights, and several other of growth and development from conception through late adolescence. The data include weight, length and head circumference for liveborn infants 25-44 weeks gestational age; tables and charts of embryonic development; charts of fetal dimensions, body size, organ weights and ossification data for 8-24 weeks postovulation (previable) and for 26-40 weeks menstrual age (viable). The data for viable fetuses also include a variety of dimensions based on ultrasonography. The sections on the newborn infant and postnatal growth are comprised primarily of charts of an anthropometric dimensions, dental eruption, skeletal maturation and secondary sex characteristics. Many of the anthropometric dimensions of the newborn are of the face and are useful in studies of dysmorphology. The final section presents growth data and charts (largely weight, stature and proportions) for a variety of specific disorders, including achondroplasia, amyoplasia, distal arthrogryposes, Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, multiple pterygium syndrome, Noonan syndrome, pseudoachondroplasia, sickle cell disease, skeletal dysplasias, Turner syndrome, and Williams syndrome. The data and charts are derived from a variety of sources included among the references. This is a valuable compilation for auxologists, especially those with a clinical orientation. An updated, new edition in the next few years would be an excellent addition to the auxology literature.
