Purchase options and add-ons

Taking a practical approach and supported by global examples from all areas of health, the new edition of this popular and highly commended textbook has been updated to reflect current epidemiological thinking and teaching. Based on feedback from teachers and students, material has been reordered to better suit courses and reflect the underlying logic and purpose of epidemiology. • Provides students with a rounded picture of the field by emphasizing the commonalities across different areas of epidemiology, including clinical epidemiology, and highlighting the key role of epidemiology in public health • Avoids complex mathematics by restricting this to optional material, thereby keeping the book accessible to students from non-quantitative backgrounds • Integrated and supplementary questions help students to reinforce concepts • A wealth of online material is available at www.cambridge.org/essential_epidemiology, including additional questions, advanced material for key concepts, recommendations for further reading, links to useful websites and slides for teaching, supporting both students and teachers.

    It is hard to rate this I’m a real estate appraiser (now in the corporate world). I’ve worked on some large environmental cases. I have some math chops. As an appraiser I went to some public hearings / presentations which included the state’s chief epidemiologist. In the corporate world my job includes business continuity. (Things like how would we respond to things like COVID, swine flu etc.). The first time I heard one of these guys speak I thought, this is not math or medicine, there are too many unknown variables. So they guess , when the facts change they change their guess. When COVID hit I got this book to see if I was missing anything.

    It is a good introduction to the subject. The math is not hard (about 8th grade level). It perfectly served my purpose. Of course, I have zero medical background. But it would be a good read for a pre-med major interested in the topic.
