Critics' Reviews

The “Atlas of Clinical Dermatology in Coloured Skin: A Morphological Approach” published by CRC Press is a well-organized and illustrated resource of value to practicing clinicians, residents, and students. The most obvious problem for North American readers is the title, given the pejorative and offensive nature of the term “colored” in North American history. I strongly urge the authors and publisher to change the term to “in skin of color” if they intend to market this text in North America. If you can get past the title, this book is an excellent resource with many high-quality images of a wide range of disorders.

- Dirk M. Elston, MD, JAAD Reviews

This atlas is a comprehensive, user-friendly, clinician’s desk reference resource for dermatologists in training as well as those in clinical and academic practice.

- Rajat Choudhary, M Ramam, Indian J Dermatology Venereology Leprology Book Review

I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares for patients with skin of colour. It is a precious resource for both teaching and learning, and it will help clinicians to provide better care for their patients.

Koushik Lahiri, Indian Journal of Dermatology Book Review

This is useful as a pictorial atlas for obtaining a feel on how common skin diseases present in darkly pigmented skin types. All the patients in this book are Indian ethnicity. The captions have useful information on appreciating subtle findings in different disease lesions.
