Essential Endocrinology by Charles Brook

Essential Endocrinology by Charles Brook

Written by a highly respected author team, this is the standard endocrinology undergraduate textbook. This edition integrates basic science and clinical information, and includes a completely updated section on mechanisms of hormone action.

Excellent diagrams and integrated case reports make this an excellent base of knowledge for second year and beyondCombined with a modest price tag at almost half that of some of the recommended course texts (and the boon of having an index that sends you to the correct page never mind the correct chapter) Essential Endocrinology is a must buy. Surgo: Glasgow University Medical Journal Each accessible chapter is preceded by a tidy summary of the topic before plunging into the unknown. This book is useful at any stage of the course and smells quite nice too. Black Bag, Bristol Medical School Gazette On earlier editions: The book is ideal for students with little or no previous knowledge of endocrinology. ASLIB Book Guide Good use of clinical examples in the text make this book appealing to all student years. St Thomas' Medical Gazette The manageable chunks of text, interspersed with diagrams and photographs, made the book very readable and even interesting - a rare feature of many older textbooks. If you want/need a book to supplement your course notes then this is the one to get. Murmur, Cambridge University Medical Gazette Published Reviews of the 4th Edition A very didactic book, covering the major fields of endocrinology. ..It provides essential knowledge for medical students, presenting also updated diagnostic means. Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, vol.15, no.6, 2002 Published Reviews of the 4th Edition It is logical set out in chapters dedicated to each system in turn.Each is summarised which aids the digestion of what can be a rather detailed text. ..I would recommend this as a book to turn to if you want to expand on material from lectures. Northwing, vol.67. no.2, Autumn/Winter 2002
