The Color Atlas of Family Medicine is an exceptional reference for the practicing physician, medical student or resident.

In an era where good medical content is freely available on the internet, traditional textbooks require too much searching and extended reading times, only to find that the information is incomplete or outdated. In contrast, this book allows focused and concise review of a very broad range of topics relevant in the clinical setting.

As its title indicates, the book is filled with extremely detailed and well reproduced photographs, covering all the major fields of family medicine. Even with broadband connections, high quality photos and graphics are much slower and grainier on the internet than in a well-organized book.

The section on dermatology alone would make a great stand-alone reference text.

Most books that are presented as an `atlas' pay less attention to the text than the graphics. However, the information in this book is packed with concise, practical, and timely information that fully compliments its graphics and is a joy to use.

Each section is beautifully presented, each topic introduced with a patient scenario. This provides a natural clinical overview of the topic and, throughout the text, highlighted by superb photos and graphics. It is therefore easy to review a subject `real time' in the office or clinical setting.

The book also covers common family Medicine procedures including colposcopy, dermoscopy, and intralesional steroid injections. In addition, it covers many common areas of Family Medicine often sparsely covered in training, such as Podiatry, physical and substance abuse, and end-of-life issues.

Dr Usatine has set a new standard for a book in this graphic oriented, internet complementing book. With his depth of dermatology images he has branched out to take on the world of Family Medicine with photos, xrays, CT scans, diagrams and a format that resembles the web, combining the best of the printed page with the best of graphics in a concise and practical format that sets a new standard

Starting on the inside cover with a "top 300" Topic index and clearly stated "Strength of Recommendations" based on Patient Oriented evidence, he progresses to a visually rich and knowledge packed 1442 pages, capped by 3 informative appendices, a subject index and a morphology index which enable the reader to quickly appreciate new and intriguing ways to understand the breadth of Family Medicine.

His introductory Essence of Family Medicine spans Family Planning, dealing with Death, Social Justice and Global health. And he then proceeds into physical and sexual abuse before entering the more traditional realms of Organ systems : Eye, Ear, Nose...etc.

Throughout the Book, he has defined categories, an incredible compendium of images, and split pages which mimic the web in presenting the information in a myriad of ways. His forte (and history - for those who know him) is in Dermatology, where for 600 pages he presents everything from babies bottoms to skin cancers.

He finishes out the traditional side of his book with Substance Abuse - with an introduction and specific chapters on tobacco, alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine and injection drug use. Each of these chapters includes dense tables and resources (AUDIT score, NIAAA references) that the practitioner will find invaluable.
