Although I have been involved in the study of the pancreas since 1921, my interest goes back even further to the time, in 1918, that my father's sister, a nurse who had trained at the Massachusetts General Hospit.al, devel­ oped diabetes, lost weight, and died in diabetic coma. This sad event made a deep impression on me and was certainly pardy responsible for my choosing to join the Department of Physiology of the University of Toronto to begin a career in research into diabetes. This is not the place to describe in detail the wide-ranging research and study of the diabetic pancreas in which I have engaged in the past 56 years. Suffice it to say that I am familiar enough with the subject area to be able to predict a great future for this book. The editors have undertaken a very ambitious and worthwhile project, and their efforts have been supported and strengthened by contributors who are respected authorities in their fields, thus ensuring a successful presentation of this major work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781468423273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4684-2325-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 244.0cm x170.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 600.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44448595411084,"sku":"9781468423273","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781468423273.jpg?v=1756873483","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781468423273","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
