Student's Most Beautyful Primer For The Field

This is a concise book (300 text-pages). So, logically, an amount of specialty-descriptions and therapeutic "one-in-ten-thousand-cases" one would find in a typical standard-textbook are omitted here. Yet, all relevant entities of Dermatology are covered and presented in detail when needed. 200 or so full-color-pictures display each condition in a manner that aims at immediate understanding, with a tendency towards the more macroscopic aspects. Besides, this book even has got a didactic concept: Each chapter is forewarded by a summary of the entities to follow and by up to five or so well-knit stories of unsolved cases all of which made us courious to know more. Great plus: You don't have to think of rehearsing, Clin. Derm. just takes You there. And an aesthetic concept: Quite intelligent use of types, colors from blue to green, and a gifted person's coverpainting...if that should matter. Readability: The book starts off with the relavant and typical conditions and there is no superfluous information, so there is no need for a priority list. The text progresses well, non-redundancy and TV-like "consumability" are its srength. You will remermber All You read and maybe even understand it... So just go from cover to cover, within two or three days You are easily there - see You.
