Dermatology (Illustrated Colour Text)

Great Product

good book and quick delivery - item was as described - highly recommended.

A great textbook

Great book, well organize

Ace book, great pictures that show dermatology conditions, I am a visual learner, so this book is good for me, would recommend to anyone doing a health degree.

I find it really hard to find the 'perfect' dermatology book and feel like I'm Goldilocks. It's either too much text, too many pictures, or simply too big of a textbook.The ICT series have never let me down. It lets me know the 'basic' level of knowledge I should know for most of the subspecialty topics that the series cover. I found that this book gives the 'right' amount of text and is the 'right' size. The topics are laid out in a very sensible order and organized in 3 big categories: basic principles, diseases, and special topics. The text has a mix of text in bullet points and also in prose form. I particularly like the layout of the pages (quite similar to the other ICT books). No space is wasted with unnecessary tables or images. Everything in it is written to a sensible depth, ensuring most medical students to not feel completely overwhelmed by such a vast topic.I wish there were more pictures in the book, considering dermatology is a very 'visual' specialty. However, it can easily be supplemented with Google images or any decent clinical medicine book that have subchapters on skin diseases or skin 'signs' on clinical examination.I would recommend this book: if your 'general clinical medicine' book doesn't cover dermatology to the degree of your liking, if you already have other books in the ICT series, if you have a special interest in dermatology, or if you prefer to learn from 'thinner' textbooks.

Great one if you want a bit about everything in a nutshell. Superb detail even in the 2 page compact chapters. A job well done by David Gawkrodger. highly recommended to orient yourself for further reading.

This is a nicely presented book putting conditions into subgroups such as "Blistering Disorders". It has good photos and the wording used is spot on without being overly medically orientated. Good for anyone with an interest in Dermatology and a must for a new nurse working in this area or one needing to update themselves.
