q1 · i? · theoretical · r?

This is the reviewer's summary of Godin's Part I discussion of the nature of growth, a descriptive theoretical statement rather than a data report; the reviewer notes "No actual data are given" in the volume.

"Emphasis is placed upon the fact that gross measures mean little unless broken up by finer analysis. Growth is not uniform, but proceeds with variations in the case of the limbs, trunk, and head."
