This review is from: Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases and Disorders of Mineral Metabolism (Paperback)

I highly reccomend this book. This book divided into several short chapters providing concise reviews on basic science and clinical diseases of bone. The book is well written and has many useful tables. This book is the official primer published by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. It is writen by many intenationally known scientists in the field of bone and mineral research. It is a book that belongs to any physician caring for patients with bone diseases not limited to osteoporosis.
