Human Growth: A Comprehensive Treatise
Abstract
These three volumes constitute a major contribution to researchers and physicians interested in the growth and development of humans. In a convenient manner, they bring together the results of a vast amount of research that deals directly with the subject and should be especially valuable for pediatricians, obstetricians, and family physicians. The volumes contain 59 chapters written by more than 80 authors, approximately half of whom are foreign authorities. Volume 1 is entitledDevelopmental Biology, Prenatal Growth; volume 2,Postnatal Growth, Neurobiology; and volume 3,Methodology, Ecological, Genetic and Nutritional Effects on Growth. They are available individually. The books are handsomely bound and nicely printed in double-column style. They contain more than 1600 pages and could have been produced as one volume, thus reducing cost, perhaps by half, but separate volumes make for easy handling, without uncomfortable weight. Most of the chapters are not pedantic and are pleasant to read,

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
