It is a source of great satisfaction to us that a Second Edition of
this handbook should be called for, especially because it has given
us the opportunity to produce, we believe, a better book. Eighteen
chapters, amounting to one-third of the whole, are new, and of
these, 13 deal with subjects not covered at all in the First
Edition. We have paid more attention to embryonic and fetal growth,
with chapters on cell differentiation (Lehtonen and Saxen),
embryonic growth (O'Rahilly and Muller), control offetal size
(Snow), regulation offetal growth (D'Ercole and Underwood), and
ultrasonic studies offetal growth (Meire). At last the data are
available for a chapter on the evolution of the human growth curve,
by Eliz- abeth Watts. Large parts of the endocrine section have
been rewritten (by Michael Preece, and by William Crowley and
Margaret Wierman), and the genetics section has been largely
recast, with new contributions by William Mueller and Ronald
Wilson. Reynaldo Marto- rell has contributed a new chapter on
growth in developing countries, and Tanner discusses growth surveys
and standards as well as catch-up growth. Finally, there are two
new chap- ters dealing with growth as a monitor of the health of
populations-one by Tadeusz Bie- licki, considering the contemporary
scene, and the other by Robert Fogel, on the contri- bution that
such studies are making to the economic history of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries.
