It includes up-to-date reviews of basic physiopathology in each chapter and is authored by experts from UK and international centers. Dr. R. R. M. Harman, a Bristol dermatologist, has contributed to every edition, particularly in sections on leprosy and parasitic worms. The fourth edition includes two new editors, Dr. R. H. Champion and Dr. J. L. Burton, who have also contributed chapters. The book has grown in size due to increased knowledge, now divided into three volumes for easier handling.
