Reviews for Skin Disease and the History of Dermatology: Order out of Chaos

"It was the winner of the John T Crissey Prize 2023. 'This is very much a text driven book with an academic bend but it is very readable and fascinating and there is a good collection of endnotes. This is a considerable and scholarly work on the topic as stated in the title.' - Dr. Harry Brown, General Practitioner, Leeds, UK ""...a milestone in the historiography of dermatology precisely thanks to its comprehensiveness, its specificity, and its systematicity."" - Doody's Review Service"
