Review
'?I was deeply impressed by the brilliance of selection and organization of
topics, their authors, technical format and clear and instructive literary
styles, which all result from the excellent editorial work ?The book
certainly should be considered an important contribution to understand the
contemporary knowledge about testosterone and about androgens in general.'
