Barry Bogin
Biography of Barry Bogin, currently Professor at Loughborough University.
Human Growth and Development
Offering a study of biological, biomedical and biocultural approaches, this book is suitable for researchers, professors and graduate students across the interdisciplinary area of human development. It is presented in the form of lectures to facilitate student programming.
Patterns of Human Growth
Discusses the biocultural and evolutionary factors that direct growth, and intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting individual development.
Patterns of Human Growth
A revised edition of an established text on human growth and development from an anthropological and evolutionary perspective.
The Growth of Humanity
"The Growth of Humanity is appropriate as an introduction for graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying human growth/development and demography and is also appropriate for demographers, anthropologists, and human biologists."--BOOK JACKET.
Human Variability and Plasticity
Plasticity refers to the ability of many organisms to change their biology or behaviour to respond to changes in the environment, particularly when these are stressful. Humans are, perhaps, the most plastic of all species, and hence the most variable. This book reflects on the history of research in this area, state-of-the-art research methods and discoveries and needs for future research in human plasticity and variability. Topics discussed include child growth, starvation, disease of both young and old and the effects of migration, modernisation and other life-style changes. The book will be especially useful to biological anthropologists, human biologists and medical scientists interested in knowing more about how and why humans vary.
Human Biology
This comprehensive introduction to the field of human biology covers all the major areas of the field: genetic variation, variation related to climate, infectious and non-infectious diseases, aging, growth, nutrition, and demography. Written by four expert authors working in close collaboration, this second edition has been thoroughly updated to provide undergraduate and graduate students with two new chapters: one on race and culture and their ties to human biology, and the other a concluding summary chapter highlighting the integration and intersection of the topics covered in the book.
Biological Aspects of Human Migration
An examination of migration as an important cause of change in the genetic and demographic structure of human populations.
Size Matters
With a bracing mix of fresh research, incisive reportage, and personal candor, Hall uncovers the causes and effects of society's bias against shortness and reveals how short people can and do thrive in spite of this insidious bigotry.
A Companion to Biological Anthropology
A Companion to Biological Anthropology The discipline of biological anthropology—the study of the variation and evolution of human beings and their evolutionary relationships with past and living hominin and primate relatives—has undergone enormous growth in recent years. Advances in DNA research, behavioral anthropology, nutrition science, and other fields are transforming our understanding of what makes us human. A Companion to Biological Anthropology provides a timely and comprehensive account of the foundational concepts, historical development, current trends, and future directions of the discipline. Authoritative yet accessible, this field-defining reference work brings together 37...
