Page numbers are for draft copy at present; they will be replaced with correct numbers when final book is formatted. Chapter numbers are correct and will not change now.

Robert Wadlow was the tallest person ever recorded, standing 2.72 metres tall (8ft 11inches). He is an example of an outlier that is real, albeit unusual, data rather than an error in data collection or processing.
