Opis

An illustrated time-line, this volume features a range of historical plates such as 'Molluscum contagiosum', from Thomas Bateman's Delineations of Cutaneous Diseases, 1817, an 1869 painting of ichthyosis hystrix by Carl Heitzmann, and early experiments in UV therapy by Finsen and colleagues in 1903. The authors have selected individuals representative of each era, workers who dealt seriously with the dermatologic concerns of the day, or who through project the color and ambience of the period in which they lived. The volume includes examples of the books, journals, instruments, and devices that made up the annals and paraphernalia of the speciality as it evolved.

Recenzje

"…should lie on your bedside table for its marvelous illustrations and its engaging biographies of dermatologists. The more detailed history of 19th century dermatology and syphilology by Crissey and Parish that I have cherished for the past 20 years also should be studied in depth."
- Charles Steffen, MD, derm101.com website

"…a marvelous book…The quantity of illustrations, considering that most of them are old ones, is amazingly good…the enthusiasm of the authors, their insightful comments, and skill with language are extraordinarily engaging. One can only hope for more from them."
- Clifton R. White, MD, derm101.com website


"There is much to fascinate and enchant any dermatologist with any sense of history…The work might best be described as a scrapbook assembled by three enthusiasts for their subject, whose love of dermatology shines through the pages. As such it is enormous fun, and would make a perfect Christmas or birthday present for your favourite dermatologist."
- Barry Monk in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

"The doyens of dermatological history have brought together a superb compilation…I will eagerly await publication of the sequel."
- J. Grahame Smith, Jr., MD, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
