Dermatologists, unlike, for instance, haematologists, are not generally trained in high science and tend to be unfamiliar with the language of the "New Genetics". Lacking an interpreter, they can neither understand nor exploit the exciting developments in this field. This two-author volume gives a straight-forward and uniform account of the subject. Relevant and accessible to clinical dermatologists, the text begins with a refresher course in simple background genetics and the development of skin in this context. It goes on, in the two largest sections of the book, to look at the genetics of epidermal and dermal skin disorders; each of these sections is divided into groups of conditions. The final section describes antenatal diagnosis, counselling and gene therapy. The theme of this book is to bridge the gap between clinical dermatology and the new genetics. It provides a straightforward and uniform account of the subject, relevant and accessible to clinical dermatologists, beginning with a refresher course in simple background genetics and the development of skin in this context

Clinical Dermatology

This book acknowledges that clinical dermatology is a visual speciality. The route to diagnostic understanding is a combination of access to photographic material, combined with a simple scheme for recognizing primary skin lesions. Many diagrams and color plates have been used to clarify educational points (100 line drawings) and clinical descriptions (200 colour plates). The book contains chapters that cover all the common skin diseases in the context of their underlying pathological processes and the way in which disturbances of the function of the skin produce recognizable physical signs. These are punctuated by short, sometimes witty, learning points. It also includes chapters that set skin disease in perspective (including skin and psyche), describe the structure and function of the skin an review immunology of the skin. At the end of the book there is an important chapter on drug interactions and a comprehensive section of dermatological therapy followed by a formulary. The formulary includes preparations used in both the UK and USA. Drugs are referred to by both approved and trade names.

This best selling text has been completely revised and refreshed in the fourth edition. The authors aim to enthuse family doctors (for whom they are primarily writing) to enjoy the challenge of diagnosing and treating skin conditions. 
Clinical Dermatology contains over 500 high quality pictures and diagrams matched with many colourful phrases to illustrate and entertain as it teaches. It has established a reputation as a ‘way of learning’ and as a cogent overview of the subject for the aspiring specialist. Readers are guided through the maze that too often lies between the presenting skin complaint and its final diagnosis and treatment. The authors have created an easily read text with enough detail to clarify the subject but not enough to obscure it. This fourth edition contains new chapters on racially pigmented skin, dermatology of different age groups and cosmetic dermatology. Relevant internet sites are now clearly highlighted at the end of each chapter and the comprehensive formulary has been updated.
