Atlas of Clinical Dermatology in Coloured Skin A Morphological Approach
This Atlas of Dermatology has a unique clinical orientation with an emphasis on morphology. The disease entities are arranged according to the morphology of lesions to aid diagnosis. This pattern of placement is more useful for both teaching and learning and serves as an important aid in making a diagnosis being based on the way patients present themselves in out-patient departments. With key diagnostic clinical pointers generously illustrated to help the reader in diagnosing and excluding clinical differentials, this Atlas will serve as a helpful source for medical residents and practitioners specialising in Clinical Dermatology.

Biography
Dr P.C. Das is a senior practicing clinical dermatologist at Purnea and Katihar districts of Bihar, India. He has graduated and post graduated from Patna Medical College, Patna University, India, in 2000. He has been practicing Clinical dermatology, Lasers and Dermatosurgery for over two decades. He has participated and presented papers in international, national and regional dermatology conferences and organized some of them. His fields of special interest are newer drugs in leprosy and clinical dermatology.
Dr Piyush Kumar finished his post-graduation in Dermatology from Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata in 2011 and was judged the best outgoing university medical graduate in Dermatology. He received many scholarships during and after his post-graduation to attend and present papers at National and International conferences. He has published more than 150 papers in indexed National and International journals and works as a reviewer for various National and International specialty journals. He has contributed many chapters in various books and has co-edited "Nail Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach", "Clinical Cases in Disorders of Melanocytes" and "Clinical Cases in Leprosy". His areas of interest are Clinical dermatology, Dermatopathology, Nail disorders and Genital dermatoses.
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.
