Endocrinology Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Hadley provides an comprehensive coverage of endocrinology, centralizing on the critical roles of chemical messengers and hormones--whether they are of endocrine or neural origin--in the control of physiological processes. This up-t o-date Fourth Edition depicts, through demonstration, the entire human endocrine system in examples designed specifically for premedical and related professional courses. Hadley examines several recently discovered hormones--including their origin , biosynthesis, chemistry, secretion, circulation and metabolism, physiological roles, control of secretion, mechanisms of action and pathophysiology.

This is a very good book with a lot of state of the art information. It will need some understanding of endocrinology or a good basic course in physiology to get the benefits. It would improve, probably, with an approach to the study of the hormones based on the physiological process being under regulation.
I found this book to be rather scattered in organization and poorly written. Color text and/or diagrams would improve the look and readability of the book. As a general endocrinology text, I would not recommend it. However, despite its shortcomings, it IS probably one of the best comparative endocrinology books on the market and should be a valuable addition to a comparative physiologist's library.
One thing's for sure. You read this book from cover to cover and you'll be one knowledgable student. It's loaded with information about endocrinology. Unfortunately, it's also loaded with extraneous information, some of which is most likely irrelevant to what your endocrinology professor is trying to teach, i.e. human endocrinology. Moreover, this excess info makes you have to search long and hard to get to the information you're looking for! But in general, it's a good book. I give it two snaps up and a circle.
