Howard Stoudt, Dr. The second part contains easy-to-read, illustrated anthropometric tables, which provide the most current data available on human body size, organized by age and percentile groupings. The study of human body measurements on a comparative basis is known as anthropometrics. The third part contains hundreds of dimensioned drawings, illustrating in plan and section the proper anthropometrically based relationship between user and space. Albert Damon, and Dr. The use of anthropometric data, although no substitute for good design or sound professional judgment should be viewed as one of the many tools required in the design process. Also included is data relative to the range of joint motion and body sizes of children.

C. Williams said Belongs on the shelf of every designer of things humans use.. It sits atop my shelfbeautifully researchedand authored.It's the key to human-centereddesign or any design for thatmatter.It covers the golden ratioand leaves the bestwoven in the detailedmeasurements of body parts.It helped me design a delightfulbookcase and a mudroomthat doesn't feel claustrophobic.These days, I don't turn to itmuch, but I'm ever remindedof the wisdom it contains.for measure twice andcut once does you no good,if you're measuring the wrongthing.. If it needs to fit a human being, this is the ruler! This is the definitive book if you are going to design and build furniture, living and working spaces, or making something to fit the human body! Plenty of descriptive information to accomplish the job!. stonebit said Very useful reference.. Great reference for anyone that builds stuff for humans. The diagrams and tables clearly state the dimensions necessary for the size of things to "feel" correct and be comfortable to use.
