Editorial Review | This book provides a thorough review of major topics in endocrinology. It encompasses many 'bread and butter' aspects of the field including pituitary, thyroid, and bone diseases as well as diabetes, obesity and endocrine tumors. In addition, reproductive endocrinology is addressed...I think this is an excellent book. It is useful as a reference book (to look up a specific question) or as a review (to hone one's knowledge in Endocrinology). The chapters are concise and readable. The references provided are current. There is also a self-assessment Q&A section. 4 Stars!--Doody's Review Service Doody's 20060609 |
