Fast Shipping, In Great Condition!

This product arrived in brand new condition, and shipped out the same day I ordered it.

Plenty of facts

I haven't read the whole book yet but am a little surprised at how many typographical/editing errors I've noticed. The vaccine chapter is quite out of date for a book copyright 2007. On the whole, though, it's a readable book by people who seem to be recognized authorities.

Epidemiology of Infectious Disease

I am pleased with my recent purchase. The book is in excellent condition and I was able to save 75% off what my university bookstore's selling price!

An excellent, detailed overview for both experts and novices

This text is an excellent textbook for both infectious disease professionals and for students of infectious disease epidemiology. Nelson and colleagues cover a range of essential topics from a survey of important historical epidemics to study designs for infectious disease investigations. The first part of the text covers ID epidemiology background and methodology, whereas the second focuses on specific diseases as examples of different transmission modalities. TB, HIV and Influenza are among the pathogens discussed in great detail. Chapters are written by experts in their respective fields, making this textbook not only authoritative, but also up-to-date in scope and content. Many of the authors are affiliated with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health or the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "Infectious Disease Epidemiology" is extremely readable, and serves as an excellent reference tool. I highly recommend it.
