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!"
