Dermatology, Volume 1

There's a bold new contender among comprehensive dermatology references, and one that much more useful than the rest in daily practice! Both a state-of-the-art website and a breakthrough 2-volume text, Dermatology encompasses all of today's essential knowledge.

More affordable than any other reference of its kind

More clinically-oriented - presents only the 'need-to-know' basic science, highlighted and perfectly integrated into the clinical content, so you have just the right amount of detail on every subject

More thorough in its coverage of dermatologic surgery, reflecting the increasing importance of this area of practice

More richly illustrated - with hundreds more full colour photos and figures than you'll find elsewhere

More efficient in its approach to differential diagnosis - discussing pathologic entities in proportion to their incidence, so you can focus on the likeliest diagnosis for a given set of symptoms

More use-friendly - with a consistent format in every chapter, plus algorithms, summary boxes and tables for easy reference

More evidence-based, presenting up-to-date supportive research data for therapeutic recommendations wherever available

More in-depth in its discussion of pathology, exploring the best diagnostic tests available
