US and European pathologists offer a broad reference to diseases of the endocrine organs--the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands and the paraganglia. They discuss selected disorders in a format meant to allow quick cross-referencing and comparison. A major concern is how to the translate information from the microscope into knowledge that can guide clinicians and researchers in managing afflicted patients. Color photographs and micrographs grace nearly every page. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
