Hormones

Summary: The best introductory book on the subject
Review: Disregard the review from the irate student from Riverside: there is no better textbook on the subject then Hormones by Litwack and Norman.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: I bought this book for Dr. Norman's class at the University of California, Riverside. I must say that this is one of the worst textbooks I've ever read. It is confusing, unorganized and the charts and diagrams are difficult to understand. It tries to be comprehensive but fails to clearly explain most concepts. The only thing worse than this book are Dr. Norman's lectures. There are plenty of other better books on this topic than this one.

Summary: This is one exellent book on the subject
Review: I think this is one of the few best textbook on the subject. The authors, Drs. Litwack and Norman, are well known in their field of research. They explain all concepts really well. The book is well written. All chapters have excellent references. I have the first edition of the book and have found that the 2nd edition is even better.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book is really an awesome book for the subject. I have used it for both research and teaching. There are not too many books that cover the same materials at the levels of focus and depth as this book.
