Opis

This second edition of the popular Classics in Clinical Dermatology with Biographical Sketches, first published in 1953, has been expanded considerably. Compiled and edited by two of the most acknowledged figures in dermatology over the past half-century, this new edition contains the complete contents of the first edition - 95 authors, from 21 countries, and the world literature of the preceding 150 years - plus about 30 new classic papers that have appeared in the past 50 years. The diseases depicted vary from daily clinical fare to the rarest of the rare. Some are case reports, while others are the fruit of countless hours in the meticulous study of many patients. This book is a favorite for anyone interested in dermatology.

Recenzje

Reviews of the first edition:
"The authors have been successful in presenting the background of dermatologic literature in a highly entertaining and informative fashion. The volume is recommended for anyone interested in dermatology."
- Southern Medical Journal

"This delightful book will please all interested in the history of medicine and in the eponymous figures of dermatology."
- The Lancet

"… This volume is truly one of the classics of the dermatology literature. … Shelley had a brilliant mind, which would later make him one of the most respected professors in dermatology. … Nicely illustrated with drawings and photographs of many of the disorders. … Although this book is 650 pages long, I could hardly put it down. It is a tribute to Drs Shelley and Crissey and their incredible energy in assembling a 50th anniversary addition. 'Classics in Dermatology With Biological Sketches' belongs on the bookshelf of every serious dermatologist."
- William P. Coleman III, M.D., JAMA, Vol. 292, no. 4, July 28, 2004
