Essential Epidemiology: Principles and Applications

Rating:
Summary: Excellent and practical overview of epidemiology
Review: 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.
