The theory of heights for rational points on arithmetic elliptic curves is becoming well known. An important fact in the basic theory is the relationship between the naïve and the canonical height of a rational point; in fact, they differ by a uniformly bounded amount. The paper provides a generalisation of this fact from the point of view of heights of polynomials, rather than heights of points. This concept is extended to polynomials in several variables.
