Lookingbill and Marks' Principles of Dermatology

Intuitively organized by appearance rather than etiology, Lookingbill and Marks’ Principles of Dermatology, 6th Edition, by Drs. James G. Marks, Jr. and Jeffrey J. Miller, is a concise, abundantly illustrated everyday reference for dermatologic diagnosis and therapy. It offers expert guidance and overviews of essential information in dermatology, including key points, clinical pearls, differential diagnosis, and tables of first- and second-line treatments. Superb clinical photographs, full-color histopathology images, and corresponding cross-sectional line diagrams provide details on cause and condition.

"Despite the fact that this book is aimed at neophytes in dermatology, the authors have a knack for explaining concepts in a way that nails the etiology and descriptions perfectly, which is often not the case in encyclopedic or other comparable competitors. The clarity of the writing manages to nail the message precisely and meaningfully in just one or two sentences. I am keeping it on my shelf and I have given a copy to my RN, who loves it."
