It does not overwhelm the reader with basic sciences but stresses the practical aspects of dermatology. This is a wonderfully fresh book, easyto read, and filled with exciting ideas and concepts." The New England Journal of Medicine "Standard comprehensive textbooks on dermatology are more than 2,000 pages and several volumes long. Other texts are pocket books and cover only 'core material' forstudents. Principles and Practice is a useful text of rational size and scope." Annals of Internal Medicine "This well-edited, well-written single volume textbook of dermatology is a voluminous dermatologic achievement. The book is profusely illustrated with superb clinical photographs." Arch Dermatol "
