 EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOK February 24, 2004
21 out of 21 found this review helpful
I have used this book throughout 2 years of medical school and it is one of the best dermatology references I have come across. It has also been a quick review for the the path seen with derm since the pictures are so clear and give a good representation of the path. An easy book to skim through before boards as well.
WELL-RESEARCHED, WELL-DOCUMENTED January 27, 2003

Shinning like a king's armour, the colours and synopses of this atlas made a thorough analysis of skin diseases.
Any medical student or practioner who needs a dermatological companion would find a reliable one in this atlas. The uncountable pictures, which featured in this new edition are both illustrative and descriptive. Everything about the book indicates sound research and documentation, (on the part of its authors). It is a superlative tool for both doctors and students: the type of book many people would like to keep as CD-ROMs.
An Excellent Dermatology Reference! February 15, 2001
D. M. Huey (Altus, OK United States)
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
As a non-specialist health care provider, I continually see lesions of all types on peoples faces, and have always wanted an affordable dermatology reference to help me in assessing the risk associated with these lesions. This text is everything I wanted, and then some. The text provides excellent, detailed diagnostic/background information to accompany the wonderful full color pictures, and is organized according to the type of lesion and underlying etiology. At 1,040 pages, it appears to cover the most important and common skin conditions seen. I expect it to become an often used reference in my practice. This text will help me decide when to refer a patient for further evaluation. I wonder how such a great reference can be produced at this price, as most of my other texts are much more expensive. If you are looking for this type of text, I don't think you can lose with this one. The text I have reviewed is the fourth edition, copyright 2001.
Informative and Entertaining June 12, 2000
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I found this book very informative and infact, the actual photos provide a very clear understanding of the disease or infection. This book contains information that anyone who would want to go into dermatology should know. Ranging from the Rocky Mountain spotted fever to the "hairy tongue", this book provides a broad range of symptoms in a way that is not hard to understand. My fourteen year old daugter, who is a sophmore in highschool, loves this book and says that it has sparked her interest in the medical feild. This book is a must!
A clinical pearl November 13, 2000

I am a Certified Physician Assistant in family practice. I have used this book both as a student and as a professional and have found this to be an invaluable resource. The pictures are excellent, and more importantly, the discription and synopsis of each clinical situation is precise and reader friendly. I highly recommend this book.
