Essential Epidemiology: Principles and Applications

This is an excellent epidemiology book. It gives a good overview of epidemiology and has a practical slant to it. The things I like about it:* It's easy to read and understand. It has a non-academic style of writing that's easy to follow.* It not only explains what the different epidemiological parameters are, but teaches the reader how to calculate them. Case studies are then given demonstrating the calculations with finer points highlighted and explained.* The organisation of topics in the book is logical and clear. Much better than previous epidemiology texts I've read.

I paid for expedited shipping but I was worried that it would not get here as quickly as it did because I already started class and needed to play catch up :)

good resource to have

This book was in much poorer condition than I expected. Bent pages and tons of highlighting and underlining. I don't mind a little bit of highlighting and underlining but this book had enough to cause distraction. Disappointing.

I purchased this book for my son who is in 8th grade and studying for Science Olympiad. It's more readable than many other epidemiology texts and has great definitions in it.

I LOVE this book! It's an easy read and explains the concepts really well. Out of all the textbooks i've read and used, I would recommend this one as THE book for an 'Intro to Epidemiology' text.

Using this for my NRS 432 class for nursing school. Easy to read text, and full of essential information. Highly recommended.

Good book in good condition and at good price. FIne!
