Structure is a necessary prelude to function. The tissue analyses of the nineteenth century chemists laid the foundation for modern electrolyte physiology. Recent decades have seen the development of techniques for the study of body composition in living subjects, which hopefully will lead to a better understanding of human biology and growth. Donald Cheek has been in the forefront of these modern developments.

The present book testifies to his indefatigability and his unbounded enthusiasm for the topic of human growth.
