Human Growth in Sickness and in Health
Plenary lectures from the 10th International Congress of Auxology< br>Editors: Ivan Nicoletti, Lawrence M. Schell and Giulio Gilli
Edizioni Centro Studi Auxologici/Nicomp LE, Firenze (Italy), 2006, ISBN 88-87814-33-3

The Tenth International Congress of Auxology was held from 4 to 7 July, 2004 in Florence, Italy. The Congress was sponsored by the University School of Medicine of Florence and the International Association for Human Auxology.
The theme of the Congress was “Human Growth in Health and Sickness”. The present volume - Number 5 in the series “Auxology - Advances in the Study of Human Growth and Development” - includes the James M. Tanner Lecture, given by Edoardo Boncinelli, University of Milan, which centers on the genetic aspects of growth. The other contributions deal with The contribution of auxology to the study of the aetiology of diseases, Modern urbanism and human growth, and The handling of data on psychomotor development.
A second volume, to follow shortly, will contain a selection of papers from across the field of human growth and development, in health as well as illness. Because of the wide range of subjects involved, we hope the two volumes will be useful to a broad readership of scientists.

A new comprehensive treatise
Physiological and Pathological Auxology
Editors: Ivan Nicoletti, Lodovico Benso, Giulio Gilli
Foreword by J. M. Tanner
Edizioni Centro Studi Auxologici/Nicomp LE, Firenze (Italy), 2004, ISBN 88-87814-22-8

The volume is composed of three parts. The first part treats physiological growth - from the prenatal period to the end of growth - and the basic methods of auxology (anthropometry, endocrinology, genetics, measurement techniques, skeletal maturation assessment, use of growth reference charts). The second part gives ample attention to clinical auxology and deals in particular with growth disturbances due to hormonal, metabolic, and genetic alterations as well as to chronic diseases. The third part deals with social and epidemiological auxology. The Appendix provides height reference standards used in various countries. As Tanner says in the Foreword - the peculiar virtue of this book, that distinguishes it from other current texts on Auxology, gives it the invisible subtitle "Auxology for paediatric endocrinologists, dysmorphologists, clinical geneticists and general paediatricians".
