Vertebrate Endocrinology, Fifth Edition
Available To Downloads

Vertebrate Endocrinology represents more than just a treatment of the endocrine system-it integrates hormones with other chemical bioregulatory agents not classically included with the endocrine system. It provides a complete overview of the endocrine system of vertebrates by first emphasizing the mammalian system as the basis of most terminology and understanding of endocrine mechanisms and then applies that to non-mammals. The serious reader will gain both an understanding of the intricate relationships among all of the body systems and their regulation by hormones and other bioregulators, but also a sense of their development through evolutionary time as well as the roles of hormones at different stages of an animal's life cycle.Includes new full color format includes over 450 full color, completely redrawn imageFeatures a companion web site hosting all images from the book as PPT slides and .jpeg filesPresents completedly updated and revitalized content with new chapters, such as Endocrine Disrupters and Behavioral EndocrinologyOffers new clinical correlation vignettes throughout

Excellent and speedy delivery. Book was like brand new!!

I feel that this text is overly complicated for an undergraduate class.

The book was exactly what my boss wanted but we had to return it hbecasue we had ordered 2 of the same boo.

If you are taking a class that requires this book, but says to get the fifth edition, don't get the fifth edition. The fourth edition has the same images and same information that was just moved around and the price is unbeatable. I will say that the company, Sharp Books, was great for their pricing and reasonable people to deal with, plus the shipping was rather fast. Though this book was not what I wanted, I would shop from them again
