This is an excellent epidemiology book. It gives a good overview of epidemiology and has a practical slant to it. The things I like about it:
* It's easy to read and understand. It has a non-academic style of writing that's easy to follow.
* It not only explains what the different epidemiological parameters are, but teaches the reader how to calculate them. Case studies are then given demonstrating the calculations with finer points highlighted and explained.
* The organisation of topics in the book is logical and clear. Much better than previous epidemiology texts I've read.

This book was in much poorer condition than I expected. Bent pages and tons of highlighting and underlining. I don't mind a little bit of highlighting and underlining but this book had enough to cause distraction. Disappointing.

I LOVE this book! It's an easy read and explains the concepts really well. Out of all the textbooks i've read and used, I would recommend this one as THE book for an 'Intro to Epidemiology' text.

This book was exactly as described and was shipped quickly. I was very satisfied.
