* The Human Frame' by J. Z. Young, F.R.s.
Professor of Anatomy in the University of London
We all have our own ways of standing, with the weight either mainly on one leg or on the other, or sometimes squarely on both. But even at our quietest we still make slight swaying movements-a sign of the continuous activity of a living person. In this talk Professor Young makes some interesting comparisons between the body and mechanical structures, and shows how particular types of posture reflect the owner's character and way of life.
