Featured Book - Inflammatory Dermatoses: The Basics

The second featured book from this week's New Acquisitions List is Inflammatory Dermatoses: The Basics by Dr. Bruce R. Smoller and Dr. Kim M. Hiatt, both from the UAMS Department of Pathology.

Inflammatory Dermatoses: The Basics will serve as an effective and efficient handbook for the student of dermatopathology, and as a practical bench reference for the practicing diagnostician who desires rapid access to focus upon a single histological observation, i.e., inflammatory conditions without epidermal changes, and use this as a starting point from which to build a differential diagnosis based upon pattern recognition. As each entity is addressed, there will be a concise discussion of the basic clinical findingsand epidemiologic associations. This will be followed by a histologic description, highlighting areas that serve to discriminate between the entity under discussion and similar ones. Any immunologic studies that might augment the diagnostic sensitivity or specificity will be discussed. The chapters are thematically based and consist of essential bullet points arranged in organized outlines allowing for easy access and direct comparison between entities. The salient histologic features are depicted with abundant high quality, full-color photomicrographs placed immediately adjacent to the appropriate histologic bullet points. This volume will serve as an effective and efficient reference for rapid access to criteria that are useful in differentiating histologically similar entities. The elaborate pictorial documentation will also enable the book to serve as an atlas of the commonest dermatologic disorders.

Featured Book - Learning to Learn: The Teaching Legacy of Eugene A. Stead, Jr., M.D.

The featured book from the current New Acquisitions List is Learning to Learn: The Teaching Legacy of Eugene A. Stead, Jr., M.D.; edited by Francis A. Neelon, E. Harvey Estes, and Andrew G. Wallace.

Learning to Learn traces the teaching legacy of one of America's most gifted medical educators. Eugene Stead was active at Duke University for more than 50 years and chaired the Department of Medicine there from 1947-1967. His philosophy of education touched future doctors, nurses, and physician assistants at Duke and across the nation through leaders he trained. The heart of Stead's legacy is a handful of principles that are as essential today as they were 50 years ago: that people are the most important product of any educational system; that patients are the focus of learning to doctor; that taking responsibility is essential to learning; that in a community of learners, everyone has something to contribute; that teachers learn by teaching; that no two patients and no two learners are the same, and that, for the learner-mentor relationship to work optimally, it needs to be close and maintained over time. These principles are captured and amplified in seven papers presented and discussed by several of Stead's colleagues and pupils at a symposium held in 2008 in honor of the 100th anniversary of Stead's birth.
