review by an editorOf great value not only to the researcher but most helpful for diligent students and questing laypeople as well, with its thoroughly up-to-date detailing of many commonly-encountered endocrine maladies and a number of exotic disorders as well. As a scientifically untrained reader, I found many articles of interest and enlightenment. |
