Reviews

"...The atlas is unputdownable. It also features something that many dermoscopy books lack: all of the key descriptive features of the images are included in a box just beneath the picture. There is no need to search for information....The chapters are authored by the most prominent experts in the field....

...I am confident that the informative text and spectacular images will trigger continued enthusiasm."
