The ONE epidemiology book you need March 9, 2006

If you are going to get one epidemiology text, this is the one to get. It is well-written, straightforward, but not dumbed-down! It covers all of the major areas of epidemiology and there are ample references to more in-depth papers on specific topics. A companion web site includes review problems, outlines, slides, and link to external references. For the beginner, it is a great introduction to the field of epidemiology. If you have read more advanced books, Epidemiology Kept Simple will help solidify concepts and help link ideas together.
Very Worthwhile! October 30, 2007
Kristine Oase (Placerville, CA)
I purchased this book for an Epidemiology class...interestingly enough, the instructor of the class is the author! This is my first introduction to an epidemiology textbook and thus far, I've found the book to be extremely worthwhile. The concepts are clearly explained, the examples plentiful, and the online exercises are very valuable.
