Rezensionen

Aus den Rezensionen:

"... Das im schwarz-weißen Druckbild gehaltene Buch ist in Gliederunund Lesbarkeit sehr gut gelungen, eben so wie die Auswahl der Abbildurigen und Tabellen. Der Band erfüllt: alle Anspruche an eine wissenschaftliche Darstellung und ist umfassend für die gewählte Thematik. Ein solches Buch ist wichtig und beeindruckt gerade durch das fachubergreifende Konzept. ..." (C. Bayer, in: Aktuelle Dermatologie, August 2012, Issue. 8-9, S. 325)
