 Simple and to the point September 17, 2008
This is an ok book. I will provide the reader with an overview of endocrinology and you will pass the exam reading this.
It's is not of any magnificient standard and the figures and tables are not amazing, but it's ok and enough to pass as subject many find hard to understand.
 This book makes endocrinology a breeze!! March 9, 2002

I am a veterinary student in London, and before I had this book I thought endocrinology would be a very difficult and tedious subject - but I have been proven wrong! It is both fascinating and fun! The way the book is structured brings the reader's knowledge of the endocrine system to a level that is necessary to progress with confidence in medical or veterinary medical undergraduate courses. Each chapter progresses fluently from one to another building a lot more every time on the reader's knowledge but not so much that it becomes overwhelming. The book begins with the fundamental processes of hormonal structure and mechansims and then proceeds to discuss histology of individual glands and physiological processes occurring between them. Clinical disorders are discussed only to a degree which provides a fundamental understanding of them, but the reader should feel a sense of completeness now having a good knowledge of the endocrine system, disorders associated with it and the aetiological principles causing these disorders. I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone beginning a course in endocrinology or just for general interest.
