Editorial Review:
Not just another overview book on endocrinology,How the Endocrine System Works presents a humorous and highly informative collection of nine easy-to-digest "lectures" discussing the fundamental workings of the endocrine system in health and disease.
This absorbing addition to the "How it Works" series provides a concise and scientifically reliable introduction to endocrinology without the use of broad glossary terms and extraneous detail that can make a text hard to follow. This book focuses on function rather than anatomy and definition, so that you can reach an appreciation and a clearer understanding of this intricate system.
Students will find this book to be the perfect introduction to their entry-level courses, as well as a quick review for exams. Professionals will enjoy the simple approach to a complex topic, and the general reader will satisfy a basic curiosity about the glands and hormones of the human body.
Tremendous resource for those seeking a brief introduction to a complicated topic.

Rating: - How the Endocrine System Works
The endocrine system is a complicated business. This book can be read by a student, or interested lay person, if only to get an overview of how the
endocrine system works and when it fails to function properly. The reader
can find out what diabetes and high cholesterol means. I was somewhat bothered by the detail.
