Book Reviews

The document provides reviews of three dermatology books. The first book, "Evidence-Based Dermatology," is praised for being the first textbook on evidence-based dermatology, discussing the methodology of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and its application to common skin disorders. It is noted for being well-written and a valuable resource for dermatologists. The second book, "European Handbook of Dermatological Treatments," is a minimally revised edition that describes skin and venereal diseases, special treatments, and drugs used, with contributions from 168 writers. The treatments are well described, and the therapies recommended are considered important. The third book, "Hair & Scalp Disorders: Common Presenting Signs, Differential Diagnosis & Treatment," is commended for its illustrations and updated references, particularly in the areas of female pattern hair loss, androgenic alopecia, and chronic telogen effluvium, making it a recommended resource for doctors treating hair problems.
