Editorial Reviews
"Give em a Hand for This Handbook! . . . The depth of coverage is greater than that available in most texts, and selected chapters could be used in a variety of teaching settings. Because even the most dedicated researcher cannot keep current on every area of endocrinology, volumes such as this are particularly valuable. By referring to chapters in these volumes, the reader gains insight and perspective into many different and diverse topics. Most endocrinologists will find these volumes a worthy investment of their time and money."
