First sentence: THE STUDY of endocrinology is exciting because it deals with chemical regulation of virtually all biological phenomena and hence is on the "cutting edge" of molecular, cellular, and organismic biology of animals.
Description: "Comprehensive and comparative, this thoroughly updated text surveys vertebrate endocrinology. Intended for an upper division undergraduate class in endocrinology, this useful reference will also prove invaluable to faculty, researchers, and graduate students who require up-to-date information on a myriad of endocrine systems. This Third Edition focuses more attention on mammalian systems, neuroendocrinology, and molecular endocrinology. The text has been extensively reviewed by faculty who teach endocrinology and should establish a new teaching standard for vertebrate endocrinology."--Jacket.
