5.0 out of 5 stars
Handy little book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Diseases of the Pituitary: Diagnosis and Treatment (Contemporary Endocrinology) (Hardcover)
Short Hardcover book with focus on pituitary diseases. Not many other textbooks are available which cover pituitary diseases such as this book. Chapters are short and concise. Each chapter has good references for further review. Good companion textbook to a core endocrinology texbook.
