The
Encyclopedia of Skin and Skin Disorders
Carol
Turkington & Jeffrey Dover, M.D.
The largest sensory organ of the human body, the skin stretches
over an average of eighteen square feet and weighs between six and
nine pounds. This revised and expanded edition of Skin Deep (Facts
On File, 1996) reveals how the skin functions and how to take care
of it in a clearly written, jargon-free survey. Written by an accomplished
medical writer and a dermatologist, The Encyclopedia of Skin and
Skin Disorders, Second Edition includes hundreds of well researched
entries on everything from elements of the skin and their roles
in the human anatomy to cosmetics, medications, and preventive care.
This reference also examines the histories of skin disorders, skin
traumas, their symptoms, and treatments.
