Human Growth and Development, 3rd Edition, examines the biology of human growth along with the genetic, endocrine, environmental, nutritional, and socio-economic factors that influence physical expression. Edited by Noël Cameron and Lawrence Schell, the volume connects biological mechanisms with external influences across the lifespan.
Coverage traces developmental progression through infancy, childhood, juvenile growth, adolescence, and puberty. The text also reviews analytical methods, including growth measurement, maturation assessment, and growth modelling.
Prepared for researchers, professors, and advanced or graduate students in human biology, human development, and anthropology, the volume features lecture-length chapters. It provides practical conceptual tools for connecting developmental data with predictive medicine.
