This book is one of the best medical school texts out there period. It covers all the major hormone pathways and associated disorders in a clear manner intended for the 2nd year medical student. Discussions of disease process are case-based. Outlines of all endocrine pathways are shown in figures to cater to those who learn by visualization. Tables of disorders are also plentiful. Simple explanations of biochemical and molecular pathophysiology are given whereever it's necessary to understand the disease process. Diagnosis and treatment of endocrine disorders is presented in an intuitive fashion. Also, multiple-choice review questions testing highlights are included at the end of each chapter. The one drawback to this book is that it is in black&white, with gray-scale images. Nevertheless, this is a minor demerit in a huge host of merits. I highly recommend this to all.

I am a 2nd year medical student and I purchased this text for our endocrine module. Other reviews were persuasive, and I have to say they were spot on! Although it is a black and white text, the diagrams are excellent and it is a very easy read. Great proportion of physiology and pathology. I have no complaints. We just had our first exam and I rocked it!

It is a great book for med. students in a organ based/PBL medical school curriculum.
