English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031196872 | 293 Pages | PDF (True) | 62 MB
Dermatology is one of the most challenging branches of medicine, as diagnosis mostly relies on the morphology of the lesions. In this regard, relevant differences based on the patient’s phototype exist, and recognizing this variability increases diagnostic accuracy. This richly illustrated atlas with over 900 original illustrations, gathers the pioneering experience of international experts, and provides a detailed insight into the clinical and dermoscopic presentation of inflammatory, infiltrative and infectious dermatoses as well as hair and nail disorders for both fair and dark skin, pointing out any relevant differences according to the skin tone. This handy volume, which also includes still unpublished details and less common dermatological conditions, is intended to support the clinical practice of physicians primarily dealing with either light or dark skin and will be of help in a multiethnic context, growingly common in our globalized world. Written for dermatologists, dermato-pathologists, residents and anyone performing dermoscopy, this atlas will be a valued companion for the effective diagnosis of various skin, hair and nail disorders across the wide skin color spectrum.)

Climate Governance and Federalism


Free Download Climate Governance and Federalism: A Forum of Federations Comparative Policy Analysis
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009249657 | 368 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
The majority of the world’s largest carbon emitters are either federations or have adopted systems of decentralised governance. The realisation of the world’s climate mitigation objectives therefore depends in large part on whether and how governments within federal systems can cooperate to reduce carbon emissions and catalyse the emergence of low-carbon societies. This volume brings together leading experts to explore whether federal or decentralised systems help or hinder efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. It reviews the opportunities and challenges federalism offers for the development and implementation of climate mitigation and adaption policies and identifies the conditions that influence the outcomes of climate governance. Including in-depth case studies of 14 different jurisdictions, this is an essential resource for academics, policymakers and practitioners interested in climate governance, and the best practices for enhancing climate action. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
