Essential Endocrinology and Diabetes

Reviews / Votes

"Essential Endocrinology has been a brilliant book for my general medicine placement. It is concise and well-illustrated, and its handy size means it is not a hassle to carry it when away in regional hospitals. The case histories have been a particularly useful feature of the book to test my understanding of endocrinology in a clinically relevant manner. I feel the content of the book is pitched perfectly for medical students.

Recently I have had to teach the topics of adrenal and thyroid hormones and the clinical applications to preclinical students. This book has been particularly useful during preparation, as it dedicates 2 chapters specifically to them. It covers the physiology in good detail without being excessive. Perhaps in a future edition, there could be a page or two in each chapter dedicated to the relevant histology since this is something that would be relevant to preclinical students and the book is recommended as the core text for second year med students studying endocrinology at Cambridge."

"I love this book, it is everything I am currently looking for as a 5th year about to sit finals, and I will be reading every chapter in preparation." (Final year medical student, University of Glasgow)

"I am very impressed at the ease with which I am reading some of the hardest material - especially the molecular basis of endocrinology" (Psychiatry Resident, University of Cincinnati)
