1. Anthropometry Illustrated CD is a digital textbook on physical measurement techniques for human biology and the health professions.  It is designed for scientific and professional applications.  Access to Anthropometry Illustrated is through a standard Web browser (Netscape® v. 4.0 and MS Explorer® v. 4.0 and higher).  This permits cross-referenced links and book-marked references within the text.  When on-line through an internet server, Anthropometry Illustrated provides links to designated e-mail addresses, useful Web sites and powerful search engines.  With over 1000 illustrations it is a treatise for the new generation of micro-computer oriented students, human biologists, nutritionists, physical educators, health and lifestyle enhancement professionals.  It is designed to invite, involve and inspire people to become participants and witnesses in research. Inquire about KIP CLUBS for student involvement and downloading software.

2. Anthropometry Fundamentals  a  Power Point instructional CD designed  as a teaching aid for training anthropometrists for comprehensive data assembly. The over the shoulder illustrations show exactly the placement and manipulation of the instruments. It can be used for large and small group training. The techniques are practically identical to those recommended by ISAK (International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry) – with preferences noted in the instructions accompanying the slides. Inquire about KIP CLUBS for  student involvement and downloading software.

3. Anthropometry Techniques: an Instructional DVD movie is a full 120 minute visual learning system showing landmarking, and measurement with explicit technique based on years of time motion study and concurrent precision assessment. It is menu driven and can be used for instructional clips for teaching specific techniques. Institutional and site licenses only.

4. The Phantom Knows (about allometry, dimensionality and human proportionality). A light hearted staged dialogue by Bill and Mary Ross with 80 illustrations, 12 tables, eight appendices and explicit examples of how to manage complex data assemblies made easy --  allometry, similitude, neonatal growth, elite figure skaters, longitudinal growth in boys, sex chromosome aneuploidy, international class body builders, black and white Olympic athletes, sexual dimorphism in aquatic sport,  bantam and professional adult hockey players, inconmetrographic analyses and much more.  The purpose of the book is to create an excitement and irresistibility for research and professional applications based on 30 years on the international lecture circuit and bonding  with the NOW generation of human biologists and health professionals. soft cover, release date August 2004.  

5. O-Scale Physique Assessment System is no longer available. It is being incorporated in the AMPlan providing A and W ratings, raw score summaries proportionality profile for a comprehensive anthropometric battery for children and youth 6 to 17, 18 and 19, and in five year increments thereafter to age 70 (based on 22,000 subjects). The new system will feature TemEasy©, a front end loader for error control and management of other data assemblies (release date 2005).
