I'm pretty mixed on this book

I'm pretty mixed on this book. Some of the chapters are very clear, concise and helpful. Others kind of leave you scratching your head. Were there multiple authors?

I cant believe I am writing a review of a text book! This one is pretty darn good for Epi and the answers to the chapter review questions are in the back. It is easy to understand and well laid out. OMG i just became a huge dork!

Better than many of the other textbooks that tackle the subject

I've read a few epidemiology textbooks and this one has been the most accessible of the bunch - although including formulas and their explanations there is plenty of content that isn't focused on formula digestion. It also presented observational studies, and case-control study designs in particular, in a more contemporary and balanced light without the disdain that is easily recognized in other texts. As a textbook or access point for interested readers I think it serves quite well.
