Review title: I need a new endocrinology text
Product review: I've been using various editions of Hadley for quite a few years in the upper division/graduate level general endocrinology course I teach. I've never been particularly enamored of it but it's general and pretty comprehensive. Although the lectures I use have been generated and updated using Hadley and other sources, in checking my notes (PowerPoint pres.) this year I've noticed a number of glaring errors (see p. 317 for the most egregious/amazing; "...NE contracts the heart and forces blood out into the circulatory system. Acetylcholine, on the other hand, relaxes the heart so that it can again fill up with blood.")So, if anyone can recommend a good general (although a previous reviewer refers to Hadley as being 'comparative,' it is not ... and I've largely ruled out Norris [too comparative] and Nelson [too behavioral], though both are fine books) Endo. text let me know. I'm in the biology dept. at the u. of Memphis.
