Anthropometric data of the human body
This is still the go-to book for anthropometric data for designers and engineers working in any number of disciplines. As it summarises masses of data statistically, but presents it on the whole graphically, it is not at first look the easiest of books to dip into. However, with a reasonable amount of application you are almost bound to find the info you require.
Being an American publication both Metric and US units are given, which does tend to complicate the diagrams, but this is not a great problem. Although the data was collected from "Americans" the researchers chose as diverse a range of ethnicities as possible to reflect a modern, diverse population.
Very usefully it also gives info on the intellectual development of children.
