Very Satisfied

This book was exactly as described and was shipped quickly. I was very satisfied.

Excellent and practical overview of epidemiology

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.
