This is a revised and expanded version of "The Measure of Man". The new title is the product of twenty years of new research by the designers at Henry Dreyfuss Associates. It contains updated information and new data on anthropometric factors that is not yet available to the design community: new factors on differently abled people (wheelchair-bound, blind, and hearing impaired), new factors on pregnant women at work throughout the nine months of pregnancy, new factors on infant and teenage growth (2 months - 18 years old), a new chart of measurement comparisons between European, Japanese, and US men and women, plus updated factors on the measurements of men and women from the 99.5 to 1 percentile. This project consists of a 96 page book in 2-colour with all charts and explanations side by side and two posters of "Joe" and "Josephine" with all measurements in place. All dimensions throughout the project are given in metric and imperial.
