At 1300pages, it remains the most extensive and up-to date textbook in the field. However, for the benefit of a wide audience of physi cians and safety engineers who cannot go into the detail provided by the Hand book, it was decided to produce a compact version. We the editors are now pleased to present the Condensed Handbook of Occupational Dermatology. In this newvolume, the central chapters havebeen revised and abridged by the authors. Some background information has been omitted, but all of the most important messageshavebeen retained. Newinformation has been added as deemed neces sary.Wehope that the Condensed Handbook willbe useful in the care ofpatients with occupational skin problems in daily life, while at the same time providing information to help prevent these problems in the workplace. Wewould like to thank the authors for their additional work and support and the staffofSpringer-Verlagfor their help.
