" The Measure of Man and Woman is a critical reference that is a must for every design school and office. It is elegant in its simplicity and usability. Once again, the Henry Dreyfuss team makes a major contribution to the profession!"
– Herb Tyrnauer, FIDSA

" The Measure of Man and Woman is a major contribution to the understanding of anthropometric and ergonomic realities that influence the design process. It is a vital reference document that not only informs, but provokes an awareness of and a sensitivity to complex and composite issues. Not since Le Corbusier’ s more subjective and interpretive Le Modulor has there been a comprehensive reevaluation of man and woman’ s occupation of space and the subsequent implications, responsibilities, and possibilities."
– Charles Gwathmey, FAIA, architect
