Synopsis

This handy sized volume combines the features of a colour atlas with concise and authoritative structured summaries of the essential features of all but the very rarest skin diseases. Some 450 clinical colour photos and 25 line drawings are accompanied by text subdivided into definition clinical features, epidemiology, differential diagnosis, investigations and special points. Every opportunity is taken to illustrate variations in conditions that occur with age or racial group. Text and photos are integrated throughout.

About this title

Review:

Combines high-quality pictures with easy-to-read text, thus making this book of far greater value than an atlas alone.. highly recommended to practitioners with an interest in dermatology, medical students and trainees in dermatology -- Dermatology

The book is well laid-out, with detailed contents page and index the book should stand the text of time -- GP

This almost pocket-sized book is a real treasure bound to appeal to a wide range of people, including medical students, dermatologists, general physicians and general practitioners -- Postgraduate Medical Journal

Stuart Robertson and I had hoped that, if we omitted treatment from this little book, then it would never need to be revised. We had underestimated the devotion of our readership to the cause of making patients better. Giving in eventually to the pleas of our publisher, our only stipulation was that we would need the help of a third editor. And who better, we thought, than Sarah Wakelin, already an experienced author in this field? At the same time as this wholesale improvement, the opportunity was taken to correct deficiencies in the coverage of skin disorders, including HIV infection, while thoroughly revising the original text and illustrations. More than a hundred new illustrations have thus been incorporated, provided very largely by the indefatigable Stuart Robertson. The result is an even more useful book than before, one that will be a dependable guide to those starting out on dermatological training, whether doctors or nurses, as well as to more experienced health professionals in other disciplines, including general practice and occupational health. I thank both my fellow editors for working with me so attentively to breathe new life into the Colour Handbook. RICHARD J G RYCROFT
