It provides a solid, clear, succinct account of basic endocrine function with pathophysiological and clinical correlations. A new chapter on 'Cytokines and Immune-Endocrine Interactions" has been added to the third edition. In addition, the chapter on growth has been completely rewritten. All other chapters have been updated and twenty-five new figures have been added.
