Praise for the First Edition "This book serves as a primer, an atlas, and a reference text. As a primer, it reviews very basic information, including hair anatomy and the 'nuts and bolts' of processing and evaluating specimens. As an atlas, it is rich in photographs demonstrating basic and advanced histologic features of hair disease. And, as a reference, it includes up-to-date information and a review of basic clinical features that provides clinical-pathologic correlations... This is the most complete resource on the pathology and clinical manifestations of hair disease." -OnLineDrugTest.info
