5.0 out of 5 stars
The Clinical Accuracy of the Color Atlas of Dermatolagy,
By Brian R Lasner (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Colour Atlas of Dermatology (Paperback)
The Color Atlas of Dermatology by G.M. Levene and C. D. Calnan is by far the most accurate represenation of typical dermatological cases seen in clinics today. Many other atlas's tend to display the most profound and severe cases of skin pathologies. Unfortunalty, these cases are not typically seen in most clinical settings. This then makes learning how to diagnose these problems more difficult. Thus, having the most commonly seen stages of the pathology, is this book's greatest atribute. Many people would argue that this book lacks written explainations of the pathologies as well as treatment and prevention. This is true, however, this is not a textbook, it is an atlas. Although this book is out of print and was last published in the late seventies, the photographs are very clear and graphic. The only negative draw back of this book is the use of some old termanologies. However, the realistic represenation of the photographs outweigh this insignificant factor. Over all, the Color Atlas of Dermatology gets five stars. It is definatly worth using Amazon.com's out-of-print service to obtain this book. Once you see it for yourself, you'll be sure to agree.
