DUNCAN'S DISEASES OF METABOLISM: GENETICS AND METABOLISM, ed 7. Edited by Philip K. Bondy and Leon E. Rosenberg. Philadelphia, WB Saunders Co, 1974, $26; 948 pp
View through CrossRef
This volume is approximately the first half of a two-volume standard text, and is noteworthy because it follows the sixth edition by only four years. This fact reflects the rapid progress made in the fields of genetics, metabolism, and endocrinology during this period. It is of some interest that sections on nutrition, other than a rather brief discussion of obesity, have been eliminated from a text devoted to diseases of metabolism. Unfortunately, nutrition also has been virtually eliminated from medical curricula, and this important group of diseases is a prominent defect in the education of most physicians.
