This book is terrible. The writing in it is aweful. It is vague and ambiguous. It assumes knowledge and understanding of the theme prior reading. NOT a excellent choice for a class text or for a beginner in epidemiology.

Compare the expenditure paid and benefits gained from reading, I am sure that there are other books better than this. Most contents in this book were described in very long sentences, although they really need only 30% of all words. Some excellent points are to the pictures illustrated in some chapters. My recommendation to those with limited paying capacity, you should buy Heineken’s book instead. Trust me.

We are using this a text for graduate class. The text is confusing and not well written. Rather than really describe whatever the theme being studied, it goes immediately into round-about examples without ever saying what you need to know. For a first text in epidemiology, I would absolutely NOT urge it.
As someone in an earlier review said, the authors presumes knowledge in reading the text. For an example, the text does not describe how to “unmatch” a matched study, but expects you to know how to do this as it goes on.

Nothing on ME (CFS), a common and extremely disabling neuroendocrine immune disease known since the 1980s to be associated with multiple viral and bacterial infections including retrovirus infection and b cell lymphomas (and now, of course, associated with XMRV).
The horrendous incompetence of NIH and CDC including the Epidemiology Intelligence Service (EIS) in bungling this pandemic is an instructive case study in what not to do (eg. don’t ski the whole time when you are supposed to be investigating the Tahoe outbreak). For this fascinating tale read Osler’s Web: Surrounded by the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic
