Great intro book

This book is great for anyone that finds the science of epidemiology or diseases interesting, or for someone that is thinking of going into a related field. Easy to understand, but not too simple. It provides thorough information and many specific examples in all fields of epidemiology, including infectious disease, cardiovascular, cancer, and work-related diseases. All in all, a great read and very informative.
