The expert guide to identifying and understanding the clinical differences of common dermatology conditions in patients of all skin types

An essential component of dermatology training is the accurate identification of skin diseases in all patients. Taylor and Elbuluk's Color Atlas and Synopsis for Skin of Color is designed to help you recognize the differences in disease presentation amongst patients with lighter and darker skin, thus improving diagnostic accuracy and lessening the burden of disease for patients of color.

More than 350 color images illustrate the variances in the appearance of common dermatology conditions between Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type I-III lighter skin types and Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type IV-VI darker skin types. This is an invaluable tool for providing optimal care to patients of all skin types—and an ideal resource for medical students, residents, attending physicians, and other healthcare providers.

Key events of the Civil Rights Movement will be brought to life in this exciting and informative new series.

1957 was a year of new beginnings and hope for a growing movement. In January, prominent civil rights leaders attended a historic meeting in Georgia with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the helm. In September, as protests were heating up around the nation, a group of Black students, known as the Little Rock Nine, integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. At the same time, activists’ push for legislation resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Progress toward equality for Blacks was slow, but people’s commitment to the movement continued to deepen by the year as the prospect of change seemed possible.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

The years from 1955 to 1965 are at the heart of the civil rights movement—from the Montgomery bus boycott to the Voting Rights Act. The contributions of key activists, including Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, Barbara Nash, and Malcolm X, are part of the narrative. Demonstrations of passive resistance and legal challenges were often met with bloodshed and violence against Black Americans fighting to end segregation and discrimination. Yet the courage of those yearning for equal opportunities under the law ultimately produced legislation affirming that every American should have the same constitutional rights, regardless of color, race, or gender.

With stunning photographs throughout and rich back matter, each book focuses on a specific year and chronologically follows the detailed events that occurred and the changes that took place.
