Endocrinology [Paperback]

Andrew Levy (Author), Stafford L. Lightman (Author)

Book Description

Series: Oxford Core Texts | Publication Date: January 15, 1997

Endocrinology is covered in the medical curriculum and has often been found to be a dry subject. But not with this book, which summarizes all the knowledge in this field required by a medical student in a concise and memorable way. In line with the new integrated curricula this book covers basic science alongside clinical information and is illustrated in full colour. It contains more than 450 MCQs, and over 160 tables, diagrams and illustrations. Genuine case histories are scattered throughout the text to bring the subject to life with real clinical examples, and over 100 bulleted key points help students with revision.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`provides concise, comprehensive coverage of clinical endocrinology for medical students, primarily focusing on common, clinically important entities ... very attractively and clearly laid-out ... The book admirably covers clinical endocrinology at a level appropriate for medical students and cleary meets the goals of being informative, entertaining, concise, and relevant. This is a worthy addition to the bookshelves of medical students and to medical bookstores and medical libraries.' The Endocrine Society Book Service (electronic newsletter) January 1998
