Editorial Reviews 

From Book News, Inc. 

A new textbook to which 300 clinicians and researchers have contributed. Includes extensive coverage of pediatric endocrinology and the endocrinology of the woman. Sections on the diffuse endocrine system and the relationship between hormones an the body emphasize the systemic nature of endocrinology and its diseases. Most clinical chapters are disease-oriented. Outstanding endocrine surgeons contribute chapters on practical aspects of surgical therapy. Subspecialists discuss manifestations of endocrine disorders focusing on signs and symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach provides alternative theories, diagnoses, and treatments.

I took a course in speed reading. Then I got Reader's Digest on microfilm. By the time I got the machine set up, I was done.

I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed reading accident. I hit a book mark and flew across the room.
