Endocrinology is covered in the medical curriculum and has often been found to be a dry subject. But not with this book, which summarizes all the knowledge in this field required by a medical student in a concise and memorable way. In line with the new integrated curricula this book covers basic science alongside clinical information and is illustrated in full colour. It contains more than 450 MCQs, and over 160 tables, diagrams and illustrations. Genuine case histories are scattered throughout the text to bring the subject to life with real clinical examples, and over 100 bulleted key points help students with revision.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This is an excellent review of the basics of clinical endocrinology. The book is very well illustrated and clearly presented ... I recommend this text wholeheartedly to both undergraduates and postgraduates interested in endocrinology. Jayne Franklyn, The Endocrinologist, No 46, Winter 1997
