I edited this book, so I'm not the most objective, but FYI, this is a very large book (984 oversize pages) with over 1,000 photos. It is written as a practitioner's manual, so there are many tables and bullets to find content quickly. Best, Rani

As a school based occupational therapist this may be the best professional purchase I mke this year. Chapter 20 by Mary Benbow is worth the purchase price alone. Paul

This is quite a remarkable book about designing products and environments for children aged 3 to mid-teens. The scope covers topics from physiology on through a broad range of topics including children and injuries, warnings for children of different ages, the design of schools, playgrounds, farms and even cities and communities. I was astonished at the high caliber content, which was written for the layman as well as the practitioner but lists the information in compact forms - much of the 1,000 pages is in tables, charts and graphics. Really nothing like it. JH.
