Book Reviews

The document reviews four dermatology books. The first, "Pediatric Dermatopathology," is criticized for lacking clinical details, using outdated references, and having confusing categorization and terminology, making it less suitable as a reference compared to established textbooks. "Photodamage" is praised as a useful and creative resource on the effects of UV radiation, photoageing, and photodamage, with well-written chapters and thorough referencing. "Photoimmunology" is highly recommended for its comprehensive coverage of the effects of sunlight on the skin, with up-to-date references and contributions from renowned authors. Lastly, "Hair and Scalp Disorders" introduces the term chronic diffuse alopecia (CDA) and is appreciated for its high-quality photographs and practical information, though it does not cover all conditions comprehensively. The book is recommended for dermatologists, physicians, and medical students.
