  Review(s) about a previous edition: 'This is a well written, compact physiology text on the functions of the kidney ...The author has carefully selected the relevant topics and provided the student with an up-to-date and well-balanced analysis of basic functions of the nephron, as well as a concise survey of the major regulatory mechanisms of salt and water homeostasis ...The book is lucidly written and well-illustrated and should serve as a valuable introductory text for physiology students.' - Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology . 'The students of physiology at the University of Birmingham Medical School ...are very lucky if their class teaching is as good as this paperback.' - British Book News . 'Presents clearly and concisely the principles of renal physiology at a level eminently suitable to the needs of the preclinical medical student ...confidently recommended.'
