"outstanding contribution to the area and would be an excellent introductory overview for students of the sympathoadrenal system."
"profoundly rich, balancing the amount of content with what&&&39;s needed to understand the relevant physiology and pathology that the catecholamines underlie."
"The author directs this book at medical and graduate students and practicing clinicians to whom an understanding of the catecholamines and the autonomic systems they subserve is relevant to their work."
"The author is a highly-regarded expert in the field . He has a distinguished academic medical career and is currently a Dean Emeritus and Obesity Center Director at Northwestern University. More importantly, he is a researcher trained by Julius Axelrod , who made seminal contributions to the understanding of catecholamine transmitter turnover in the early years of discovery in this area."
"One of the most fascinating features of this book is the use of figures and images (especially in the introductory material) drawn from the primary literature reporting the initial discovery of the specific details being described."
