A handy clinical reference for students and practitioners

NY, March 24, 2012 --(PR.com)-- “Color Atlas of Dermatology,” recently published by Thieme, is an illustrated guide to the wide range of dermatological pathologies. This easy-to-use book provides a wealth of practical knowledge essential in both daily practice and treatment planning. “Our goal [with this book] is to give physicians, dermatologists and students over a short period of time a clear introduction to dermatology, making not only the study of the skin, but all medical studies, more rewarding and pleasurable. We also hope that young dermatology residents and physicians in training in other specialties will find this book useful as a quick refresher, hopefully helpful in common clinical situations.” Dr. Martin Rocken, et al. Tuebingen, Germany. This atlas organizes the main areas of clinical dermatology in a user-friendly format—presenting short, precise descriptions on the left and illustrative images on the right. The instructive color plates are an invaluable aid in visualizing even the most complex relationships.
