Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book for a graduate course called Neuroendocrinology. While the textbook is easy to understand, complete with diagrams to illustrate main points crucial to neuroendocrinology, the book is outdated. It needs to be revamped: the pictures need to be put in color (we're in the 21st century now, come on) and recently developed techniques as well as the research from those techniques need to be included. The publishers need to work on it!
