5 stars! |
|
Excellent book. It contains enough information to give someone like me, a novice, an overview of what epidemiology is and its important concepts. However, it's not overwhelming. The pictures go well with the text, and the occasional cartoon -and other funny bits- make the book even better! Highly recommended! |

This is an excellent, succinct, well organized, extremely well-written and very user friendly book. I would say it would be a useful resource text for Epidemiology and Public Health students (particularly Bachelors & Masters level)as well as practicing professionals. |

It's really a excellent book for beginner, easy to read and lots of basic knowledge are well described. But if you're planning to design a study, you may need some other advanced books. |
