Summary:

Holt (diabetes and endocrinology, U. of Southampton) and Hanley (medicine, U. of Manchester) update their textbook from the 2007 fifth edition. It goes beyond undergraduate medical education, they say, walking students all the way from the basic science through clinical training to the knowledge required for early post-graduate education and specialist training. The topics include the molecular basis of hormone action, the adrenal gland, calcium and metabolic bone disorders, an overview of diabetes, and obesity.
