Product Description
This revision of the classic textbook in endocrinology will offer all of the advantages found in earlier editions of Hadley's "Endocrinology," including clear explanations, interesting applications, and in-depth coverage of vertebrate hormones. In addition, chapters are now presented in a lecture-friendly format, with headers summarizing each of the major concepts. As in earlier editions, basic principles of molecular, cellular, and integrative endocrinology are presented early, along with an updated guide to current research and methodologies. Following chapters contain discussions of each of the major endocrine systems, supplemented with the most important and interesting new information. Neuroendocrine and reproductive systems are the specialty of the new co-author of this edition, and corresponding chapters have been appropriately increased in coverage. Special features of this new edition include... 1. Expanded explanations of basic concepts 2. Updated information on research methodologies 3. Latest research findings added to chapters on each endocrine system 4. Additonal diagrams and figures 5. Printed with second color scheme.
6. New "Think, Analyze, and Discuss" review questions For health professionals, veterinarians, pharmacologists, and anyone in a field where endocrinology is the focus.

This is a very good book with a lot of state of the art information. It will need some understanding of endocrinology or a good basic course in physiology to get the benefits. It would improve, probably, with an approach to the study of the hormones based on the physiological process being under regulation.
Comprehensive textbook. February 14, 2004

The layout of this book make it very easy to use as a textbook or reference source. The clinical examples are very useful to those with a medical interest. The author offers a comprehensive, no nonsense aproach that gets the job done.
mediocre book, but a leader in comparative endocrinology July 11, 1999
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I found this book to be rather scattered in organization and poorly written. Color text and/or diagrams would improve the look and readability of the book. As a general endocrinology text, I would not recommend it. However, despite its shortcomings, it IS probably one of the best comparative endocrinology books on the market and should be a valuable addition to a comparative physiologist's library.

There's tons of information in this book. Much of it, however, is irrelevant to most endocrinology courses. To get to the information you do need, such as mechanisms of hormone action, you have to sift through countless lines of impertanent junk! Despite this problem, the book is well written and particularly easy to understand, hence my 3 star rating.
