Title: Essentials of metabolic diseases and endocrinology
Description: "The outstanding feature of this book is that it makes 'sense' of metabolism in readable form without sacrificing the rigorous attention to detail required in a major textbook on this subject. All the essential facts of endocrinology and metabolic disease are presented in a superbly organized, efficient format that sets this treatise clearly apart form traditionally bulky, hard-to-use metabolism textbooks.

"By focusing on important concepts in a concise, uncluttered manner, this volume fully covers the biochemistry of and metabolic pathways in disease processes and normal physiology without the overbearing encyclopedic bulk of other works in this field. It presents the essence of metabolic diseases and endocrinology so that even the more complex aspects of the relationship between metabolism and disease are readily understandable. Special care is given to sections  on clinical and laboratory diagnostic procedures and to definitive evaluations of existing therapeutic methods. Reference citations are mainly to the most authoritative articles and literature reviews. Clear, helpful schemes and diagrams supplement the text throughout to explain pathogenesis, disease mechanisms, and natural histories of the various disorders.

"**Essentials of Metabolic Disease and Endocrinology** has special value as a primary textbook for medical students at the basic science or clinical level and as a daily reference manual for residents and interns. It is recommended as a quick, up-to-date review source for board examinations in internal medicine, pediatrics, and endocrinology and metabolic diseases; and as important reading for physicians who recognize the importance of biochemical pathogenetic pathways but though the study of metabolism too tedious or cumbersome. It is also an essential volume for the personal libraries of all attending physicians in pediatrics, family practice, internal medicine, and general surgery."
