This is the second edition of this color atlas, first published in 1981. It serves as a guide to physical diagnosis, with 702 color photographs, many more than appeared in the original atlas. There is an accompanying text, adapted by Roger F. Soll.The quality and content of the color photographs are excellent, and they illustrate distinctly the clinical conditions depicted, underscoring that a picture is worth a thousand words. The brief text accompanying each illustration is descriptive, allowing clinical correlations to be made. For physical findings common to more than one condition, a limited differential diagnosis is presented.
