Countless luminaries from all walks of life have advanced endocrinology as a discipline, especially over the past few hundred years. Compiled and in large part authored by D Lynn Loriaux and published by the Endocrine Society, A Biographical History of Endocrinology is a succinct yet thorough volume, focusing on the key players in the development of the field. Laid out in 108 condensed biographical chapters, the focus of this text is as much about those who contributed to the scientific community as it is about the developments that were to lay the foundation of this particular speciality.
