Grade 7 Up --A comprehensive look at skin and skin problems that will be informative and reassuring to adolescents. This book dispels the myths that abound regarding the causes of acne while providing an in-depth look at the physiology of skin problems. It begins with a examination of the skin itself, the various layers and composition, followed by an extensive discussion of "the life of a pimple," including a listing of the various types of blemishes. Causes and aggravators of acne are presented, followed by advice on do-it-yourself remedies. Finally, a discussion of when to see the doctor and the future of acne treatments rounds out the highly readable, encouraging text. Some aspects of the content are technical and require careful reading, but overall the book will be understood by most readers. As usual, the Silversteins interject some of their own experiences into the text, enlivening and adding interest. Several other titles are available on the subject, including Jonathan Zizmor's The Doctor's Do-It-Yourself Guide to Clearer Skin (Lippincott, 1980; o.p.) and Kenneth Flandermeyer's Clear Skin (Little, 1979), but current findings regarding the relationship of sun exposure and skin cancer supercede the earlier books' recommendations regarding sun treatment. With its up-to-date information and relevance of the subject for most adolescents, this is a good choice for libraries serving young adults. --Denise L.
