How the Endocrine System Works by John Krawiec (Chicago, IL United States)

4 Stars
November 10, 2006
The endocrine system is a complicated business. This book can be read by a student, or interested lay person, if only to get an overview of how the endocrine system works and when it fails to function properly. The reader can find out what diabetes and high cholesterol means. I was somewhat bothered by the detail.
