Publisher's Synopsis
The late Arthur Rook established the
Textbook of Dermatology as the most comprehensive work of reference available to the dermatologist and it enjoys instant name recognition. Each subsequent edition has been expanded as the subject has developed and the book remains the ultimate source of clinical information for the trainee and practising dermatologist alike.
Rook′s Textbook of Dermatology covers all aspects of skin disease from basic science through pathology and epidemiology to clinical practice. Long recognized for its unparalleled coverage of diagnosis, this clinical classic earned its reputation as a definitive source of information.
For this Seventh Edition, two new Editors, Neil Cox and Christopher Griffiths, join the team. They draw on their complementary backgrounds in clinical practice and research to ensure the quality and currency of the text. Every chapter is updated and several are completely rewritten from scratch. Furthermore, there is a new chapter on AIDS and the Skin to reflect the impact this disease has had in recent years. Whilst the book′s traditional emphasis on diagnosis is preserved, there is more coverage of treatment in each of the disease–specific chapters.
