'Skeletal Anatomy of the Newborn Primate offers a remarkable resource for developmental biologists, primatologists, and others with interests in growth and development. The book extends beyond skeletal anatomy, with general overviews of growth and development in primates with special reference to neonates. The volume is richly illustrated, with a variety of high-quality images. The atlas of high-resolution full skeleton, neonatal CT scans for six primate species provides a distinctive resource. Numerous anatomical illustrations and histological sections complement the atlas, helping make this a tremendously valuable resource for studying the details of growth and development. Overviews of ontogeny by taxon and anatomical region for numerous species supplement excellent anatomical studies. The volume couples careful and detailed description with insightful evolutionary and comparative analyses of ontogeny and life history. Thorough reviews of feeding and locomotor ontogeny complete the volume.

In sum, Smith and colleagues have provided an indispensable resource for evolutionary anthropologists.' Steven R. Leigh, University of Colorado.
