Reviews

This reference text contains valuable and current information that could be read with benefit by dermatologists and other physicians interested in cutaneous medicine. It does belong in a well-stocked personal or reference library. (JAMA, March 2009) This is a terrific book! All dermatologists should consider it required reading. The best designed studies, if they exist, are discussed in detail. This is a wonderful resource and should be used by anyone who considers himself/herself a relevant, educated, up-to-date dermatologist. I applaud the authors for their excellent efforts. If you aren't inclined to try to master the skills to evaluate all the studies, then just read this book. The authors have already done all the work for you. (Doodys Book Reviews, December 2008)
