Rezensionen

...comprehensive and reasonably priced... The quality of the colour photographs is really excellent... as good as any I have seen... compact and consistent layout... makes the book very user friendly , ideal for cramming or speed reading... A really first class book for the doctor who wants to get an overview of the wider range of less common dermatological problems... a strong recommend for the entry level dermatology trainee and MRCP students, and a worthy addition to the practice library.

Textauszug

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
