Yuendumu, legacy of a longitudinal growth study in Central AustraliaBy Tasman Brown, Grant C Townsend, Sandra K Pinkerton and James R Rogers Published by the University of Adelaide Press 2011, 30 June 2011 $44.00 | 2011 | Paperback | 978-0-9807230-9-0 | 327 pp About the bookThis book provides a comprehensive account of a unique pioneering longitudinal study of human growth that continues to contribute to our knowledge and raise new questions 60 years after it commenced. Although over 200 scientific publications have arisen from the study, this book describes, in a single volume, the key researchers involved, the Australian Aboriginal people from Yuendumu who participated in the study, and the main outcomes. The findings have provided new insights into how teeth function, as well as factors affecting oral health and physical growth. General readers, as well as students and researchers, will find much of interest in this volume. Reviewed in Annals of Human Biology, Jan-Feb 2012; 39(1):88"My expectations were high, and I was not disappointed. The book is neither a history nor a collection of papers published by the band of researchers who descended on the Warlpiri people of Yuendumu over 20 years. Rather, it is a history, a guide to the logistics of the operation, a biography of the major players involved, as well as a critical analysis of the work that stemmed from this monumental study." Full download Professor Jules Kieser, University of Otago, New Zealand "I was one of the children of Yuendumu who took part in this study. I am proud to know that the work we helped with has improved dental work around the world. I hope that this work will directly benefit our own children in the future." Bess Nungarrayi Price - Chair of the Northern Territory Indigenous Affairs Advisory Council. 'As this book shows, a number of visitors with a research agenda were hosted at Yuendumu through the years, adding their contributions to the continuing effort of faculty at The University of Adelaide. This book is a valuable record of what was done there during the project.' William R. Proffit - School of Dentistry, University of North Carolina. 'There have been few, if any, publications that bring together all aspects of a long-term study outlining the problems, personalities, strengths and continuing study of the data collected.' John T. Mayhall - Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto. Phone orders: |
