Review :
Know your statistics before reading this book, and especially before entering a class which uses it as a required text book.

It was an ok overall view of Epidemiology. But I highly recommend taking a refresher statistics course if your Epi class is using this book because having a basic understanding of how statistics works in research is really beneficial. It also helps to understand what different studies are conducted and for what purpose that method of study was chosen for a particular disease/problem. My last statistics course was in 2006 and I hardly remembered anything and this book did not help. It doesn't give clear definitions on key terminology. Regardless I ended up Taking a Withdraw pass on the course and am taking a stats class this up coming semester.

Good textbook for epidemiology

I needed this textbook for my epidemiology class and while I don't normally enjoy reading through textbooks, this one was actually quite pleasing. I liked looking at all the figures & tables incorporated throughout the text. It's well organized and well written. It was first daunting to see how thick it was, but was actually an easy read compared to some other textbooks I've came across.

Five Stars

The book has updated epidemiological scientific information.
