One should not be afraid regarding the edition (1987). It is still a powerfull tool for any student on epidemiology or biostatistics. Despite being not a huge book, it is comprehensive enough for students of any level and perhaps as a companion to established professionals. You can read it page by page as a novel or search it for details in the planing and execution of an epidemiological research. The author is well known for his work on important trials in medicine and that makes him an expert on both theorethical and on a practical basis.
Although having graduated some time ago I just keep returning to this well written and crystal-clear undergraduate book on basic epidemiology. This explains clearly also the most basic and important statistical approaches in analyzing data, although leaving multivariate analyses mostly out. However, that might be considered as a virtue as well beacuse the book stays at a very simple level and thus not scare you off it.
This book is a clear, concise introduction to the use of epidemiology in medicine. It incorporates modern ideas in epidemiological thinking, providing an overview that is up-to-date and thorough. It delivers a lot of information without being dry, and is engrossing enough to read straight through instead of being another textbook to thumb through.
I use it for my epidemiology class. I prefer this book to the other textbook by Rothman because it is clear and more systematic. Also, it is easy to read.
