The new edition of this popular textbook remains a clear and practical introduction to epidemiology for students in all areas of health. By emphasising the role of epidemiology across a broad range of health monitoring and research, it gives students an understanding of the fundamental principles common to all areas of epidemiology. It also integrates the study of infectious and chronic diseases as well as public health and clinical epidemiology. Avoiding complex mathematics, it steps through the methods and potential problems underlying health data and reports, while maintaining a balance of rigour and clarity. The nuts-and-bolts of epidemiology are embedded in the wider international health perspective through recent and classical examples across different areas of health to engage students from a range of backgrounds. Concepts are illustrated with charts and graphs, and end-of-chapter questions test understanding (with answers provided). Online resources include further exercises, slides for teaching and useful weblinks.

Great book. It was easier to digest than other books on the topic, for example the odds and relative risk ratios' were displayed thoughtfully, clearly and the authors' encouraged the reader nicely. I liked the diagrams and tables, they added depth to the learning process. Id love to see more in the next addition. A great book. My other favourite book was by the author Kenneth Rothman.

My daughter is competing in Disease Detectives as a middle schooler. I bought this book after reading the excerpt. Although there is quite a bit of technical information, the book's content is written in such a way that I could understand the majority of the information (no medical background for me) and create a study guide for my daughter. I also had my daughter and her partner read sections of the book. Questions to check understanding along the way as well as chapter quizzes are great. Answers with explanation for chapter quizzes are located in the back of the book. Interesting factual stories are scattered throughout the book and make the reading much more interesting. Very happy with purchase!
