      Product description

      Review

      "For pre–clinical students it is a perfect accompaniment to lectures as it reinforces understanding. For clinical students each chapter begins with a clinical scenario which allows the individual to understand the problem in a clinical setting and therefore understand the physiology behind the condition." GKT Gazette

      "This is a handy guide for undergraduate medical students revising for examinations, or even for learning basic concepts...at an affordable price, students should find it a useful addition to their bookshelves." Diabetic Medicine, January 2007


      "I would recommend this book, because it explains things so clearly and simply. There is no section I have read that I don’t understand upon reading. The same topics I have struggled with when studying from other books would now be easier to understand having read material that helps me grasp the concepts as more of a whole." 3rd year Medical Student, Nottingham University

      "...This is an excellent text for medical or science students taking courses in endocrinology"
      Aslib Book Guide

      "...The book would be a good basic orientation for the clinical student, and would, I think, find a useful place amongst the literature of undergraduate biochemists and lift scientists"
      Oxford Medical School Gazette

      "...At first sight, I really thought that Endocrinology was going to be a doddle. With only 10 lectures in the course, how much information could there be to learn. The answer, quite simply is that there is a lot to know, and as I detest long Medical Textbooks, this is the answer. You relied on Pharmacology at a Glance, now you can do the same for your endocrinology. When a good picture tells the story, why do you need a huge monologue to bore you? Try this, you′ll like it!"
      Scope Magazine

      It is a comprehensive nice summary. But I was expecting A3 size and big schemes (like in Biochemistry at a balance) and they are standard size, like any other book.

      This book epitomizes "a picture is worth a thousand words". I delightfully portrays many pathways and structures that can otherwise be tough to remember, for the student of human biology and health. Frankly, I would recommend it for anyone who is curious about how the body works, as well for scientists who are more feel endocrinology should be part of their area of study.

      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2011

      I bought this book to help me understand more about what I have been diagnosed with. It was very much orientated towards medical students rather then patients and there was a lot of abbreviations which I can't understand. The book isn't really for non-medical people, however if I was studying the endocrine system then this book appeared to be very good.
