There is no dearth of pediatric dermatology books currently available, but owing to its size and clarity, this book has been a standout since Sidney Hurwitz wrote the first edition in 1981. Several other dermatology textbooks have appeared in the half-century since the publication of Henry Harris Perlman's book in 1960.1 Like Perlman, Hurwitz began his career as a pediatrician confronted by myriad cutaneous disorders in children.2 After 14 years of practice as a pediatrician, he did a residency in dermatology; as a pediatric dermatologist, he became instrumental in the development of the subspecialty, both nationally and internationally.
