The adverse effects of sunlight on the skin are well known, but only now is the scientific basis and rationale for treatment being evaluated. With the current level of interest from the general public and dermatologists in suntanning, sunburn and skin cancer, there is a great need for an authoritative, comprehensive review of the mechanisms, prevention and treatment of photodamage. There are only a handful of reputable clinical investigators who could put together an important volume and of this group, Dr. Gilchrest is probably the leading worker. She has collected all the latest information on photobiology, the effect of light on skin structure and function, clinical problems, prevention in adults and children, and medical and surgical treatment.
