Book Reviews

"This book is a good refresher for budding endocrinologists in training or even primary care physicians/specialists. I enjoyed reading it. This edition, published 13 years after the previous edition, is more reader-friendly with lots of references and figures. The website lets readers access the book on the go, a need of the hour of medical professionals today."—© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Deepika Arvind Panday, MD, reviewer, expert opinion

Praise for previous editions:
"...provides a solid overview of endocrine function and control...an introductory text that provides a solid basis of background information for the aspiring clinician, or for students planning to progress in a direction that investigates a broader range of organisms."—GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY

"...presents the subject of human endocrinology in a way that actually makes the reader want more...this is an outstanding text for medical students, graduate students, and researchers who need a good reference book in the field."—LIFE SCIENCE BOOK REVIEW
