A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The purpose of this book in its first edition was to place in the hands of directors of gymnasia, who were expected to examine people and prescribe exercise for them, a manual that should be a constant guide in securing measurements and an efficient help in pointing out the vital matters that should be considered in making a physical diagnosis, or an estimate of the organic condition of the various parts of the body and their habit of action. The purpose of the present book is the same as that of the former edition. The failures of the last have been partly eliminated and the methods of measuring more carefully discussed and illustrated, as well as the tabulation and comparison of material. The instruments for securing more exact data, especially in new lines of research, have been given more attention, as it is believed that the most valuable anthropometric work of the future will be done without attributing so much value to space relation or size. The important question will be, What can the human machine do? and not, How large are its various parts? As an investigator in a new field of study who has already added much to our knowledge of the working power of the human body I mention Dr. J. H. Kellogg, to whom I am specially indebted for much new and valuable material. I wish also to acknowledge the many courtesies that I have received from other authorities who have permitted the use of material for which credit is given in the text.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
