It's well worth the discount price I obtained it for 'a score' delivered.
I was appreciative of the further reading links.
Photo's are very good & reading is interesting clear & concise.
I believe those studying veterinary medicine find the book very good... see other reviews & in Amazon.com
The book deals with the subject of medical and veterinary epidemiology in an exhaustive manner. The book deals with the subject in a perspective that is useful for an epidemiologist and a clinician and probably a vet. There is exhaustive coverage of the subject from this perspective. The book does not give a 'How to identify the bug' kind of information. However this cannot be considered negative as the authors themselves did not intend to cover this aspect, but only to provide some identification and taxonomic information.
