Reviews

"This is a monumental five volume set- to the best of my knowledge, the first of its kind- written by a large team of experts. This set belongs in every academic medical library. The last two volumes are of special interest to endocrinologists, psychologists and psychiatrists, the first two volumes more to zoologists. The editors, contributors and the publisher are to be commended for this up-to-date, well written and well referenced work." - Zvi Laron, THE JOURNAL OF ENDOCRINE GENETICS, 2004 "...the first of its kind...this set belongs in every academic medical library...the editors, contributors and the publisher are to be commended for this up-to-date, well written and well referenced work." -JOURNAL OF PEDIATRIC ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM (2002) "Far-reaching in scope and certainly indispensable to researchers in many intersecting fields...Four editors have brought together an international cast of contributors to create this comprehensive volume work." -BOOK NEWS (September 2002) "This monumental work contains more than 900 pages organized into 106 chapters that collect an impressive amount of information...A worthwhile addition to any institution with a graduate program." -CHOICE (January 2003)
