This book was required for my epidemiology course in college, and I would definitely say that although I didn't love the course, this book definitely helped me succeed in it. There is a glossary in the end, which isn't super common with upper level textbooks, so I loved that about it!However, there were quite a few typos in this book that made it seem like the editors hadn't gone through it well enough. Nothing that inhibited my reading, but just little annoying spelling errors and such.Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone in an epidemiology course or anyone looking to learn more about the subject.
This book is clearly written. It lays out the basics of Epidemiology so even those of us who aren't science types can understand it.
Taking an online Epidemiology course over the summer wasn't something I looked forward to doing, however this text book was easy to read and follow. It offers a good foundation on the subject without information overload.
Lots of detailed information and an easy read. However, I wish the case studies in the back were a little better organized. It can be difficult to see where one stops and another begins.
Very engaging and informative book on epidemiology. Easy to understand.
This companion book to the Managerial Epidemology text is very easy to follow and really provides the meat of the course material.
Exactly what I needed for class. Thank you
Reads clearly. Lots of pictures
