From Library Journal:
Written by a physician and a medical writer, this book describes the role of hormones in the physiology of women from birth through menopause. Chapters cover endocrine disorders affecting the bones, the breasts, and the ovaries. Also discussed are diabetes and hypoglycemia, disorders of the thyroid and adrenal glands, eating disorders, and the effects of hormones on skin and hair. The authors give less attention to hormones' effect on the emotions, as in pre-menstrual syndrome. Much of the information in this book can be found elsewhere, but this readable text makes the subject accessible to lay readers. Recommended. Barbara Carroll, M.L.S. Eau Claire, Wis.
