Mary Schmich's inspiration began simply enough. While walking to work one day, she spied a young woman basking in the sun. "That girl should be wearing sunscreen," she thought That same day while under deadline pressure, she used a bit of advice to launch her next column.

What followed, however, was far from simple. Posted on the Internet, Schmich's column quickly became an international sensation. Friends e-mailed it to friends; the media picked up on it and a star was born. There was only one problem: Everyone thought the column was an actual commencement address given by author Kurt Vonnegut. "What she wrote was funny and wise and charming."

Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays appears to be the most important factor in the development of skin cancer. Skin cancer is largely preventable when sun protection measures are consistently used. Sunscreens are designed primarily to protect against sunburn. The IARC convened a working group of experts to evaluate the cancer-preventitive activity of topical use of sunscreens and concluded that their use reduces the risk of sunburn and that sunscreens probably prevent squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin when used mainly during unintentional sun exposure. No conclusion could be drawn about cancer-preventitive activity of topical use of sunscreens against basal-cell carcinoma and cutaneous melanoma. This authoritative illustrated book gives the evaluations on cancer-preventitive activity of topical use of sunscreens, as well as recommendations to skin cancer prevention. prepared by an expert group from 10 countries, it provides an international consensus on the use of sunscreens.
