This unique signs-based
reference continues to bring you the quickest and simplest route to accurate
diagnosis. Cross-references alert you to other diagnoses that share similar
symptoms. Over 700 outstanding photographs and detailed descriptions of physical
signs cover both common and rare skin disorders. Invaluable for the trainee
and non-dermatologist, the detailed descriptions of physical signs make this
an essential desk-reference for the dermatologist as well.
Reviews
A textbook that I believe should
be part of a dermatologist's library because of its brief but surprisingly
relative completeness, easy reading, and useful charts and excellent color
photographs.
-Arch Dermatol
This is a splendid book... I
approve wholeheartedly.
-Retinoids Today and Tomorrow
This volume was awarded the
Society of Authors/BUPA prize for best medical atlas... as one would expect, it
is exceptionally well laid out .
-Dermatology in Practice
Dangerously addictive
-BMJ
