Taylor and Kelly's Dermatology for Skin of Color 2/E

Taylor and Kelly's book "Dermatology for Skin of Color is a masterpiece. I have been teaching dermatology for more than 35 years and it was heretofore very difficult to find a comprehensive resource on skin of color. There has historically been a dearth of information about skin of color in the major dermatologic texts. This book belongs in every academic dermatology training venue and on the shelf of every practicing dermatologist. The book contains invaluable photographs that show the nuances of clinical presentation sin skin of color. There are also invaluable pearls of wisdom regarding therapeutic options. The book is further enriched by a fascinating account spearheaded by Dr. Fred Quarles, on African American, Hispanic and Asian Pioneers in dermatology. These magnificent physicians and leaders had to over come in many cases racial barriers that barred people of color from receiving training in dermatology and opportunities to practice. In sum this book has invaluable clinical and cultural material that makes it a must have.George Cohen MD, Founding Program Director Florida State University College of Medicine, Dermatology Residency at Dermatology Associates of Tallahassee

What a great book. Topics are well covered and so much better than the other ten shorter books that I have.I see difficult derm patients , mostly minority people , and this book is not only relevant, but it gives much more information that average Dermatology books. In Medicine, we need in general at least 2 pages of info rather than 5 lines on most conditions.

This 2nd edition of Taylor and Kelly's Dermatology for Skin of Color is outstanding. It takes the education about skin of color to another level. You will thoroughly enjoy utilizing this text. Purchased several as gifts to Dermatologists in training to optimize the overall knowledge base of dermatology and provide an excellent resource book.
