Goodmans Basic Medical Endocrinology

"This book is a good refresher for budding endocrinologists in training or even primary care physicians/specialists. I enjoyed reading it. This edition, published 13 years after the previous edition, is more reader-friendly with lots of references and figures. The website lets readers access the book on the go, a need of the hour of medical professionals today." --© Doody’s Review Service, 2021, Deepika Arvind Panday, MD, reviewer, expert opinion

"Goodman's Basic Medical Endocrinology, Fifth Edition, has been student tested and approved for decades. This essential textbook provides up-to-date coverage of rapidly unfolding advances in the understanding of hormones involved in regulating most aspects of bodily functions. It is richly illustrated in full color with both descriptive schematic diagrams and laboratory findings obtained in clinical studies. This is a classic reference for moving forward into advanced study." --Anticancer Research

Praise for previous editions: "...provides a solid overview of endocrine function and control...an introductory text that provides a solid basis of background information for the aspiring clinician, or for students planning to progress in a direction that investigates a broader range of organisms." --GENERAL AND COMPARATIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY

"...presents the subject of human endocrinology in a way that actually makes the reader want more...this is an outstanding text for medical students, graduate students, and researchers who need a good reference book in the field." --LIFE SCIENCE BOOK REVIEW
