I am really disappointed with this buy. I was expecting the latest version that came out in this year. But I received a previous version. Till then I was deperately trying to reach the vendor (Scholasticbooks) to return/ exchange it. But even after e mails and phone calls I am yet to hear from them. I do not urge this vendor to any one.

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

It would have really helped had these authors at least plotting to include an index of tables, formulas, or examples. As it is everything is clarified in dense, rambling paragraphs that one must sift through in order to get to the top. It’s required reading for my program, but I really wish I had bought another text to supplement my understanding…this one is worthless.

It is a excellent book for beginners. A small outdated but overall does the job effectively explaining the basic concepts.
