Product Description
Epidemiologic speculations and research findings increasingly blaze across media headlines and heighten anxiety among the public. Understanding the foundations of such news can be daunting. Now in its third edition, Epidemiology for Public Health Practice has become a favorite textbook for undergraduate and graduate students new to epidemiology by providing a comprehensive look at all major topics, from study designs and descriptive epidemiology, to quantitative measures and terminology. Distinguishing itself from other texts with its accessible writing style and immediacy of information presented, the Third Edition has been extensively revised, with updated data and statistics essential to understanding the importance of epidemiology to public health.

epi resource text June 19, 2010
lady J (PA)
This text is useful for epi study. Example studies are provided. Answers are only provided for some end of chapter questions. Medium size paperback textbook size allows for easy transfer to and from class.

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 story read Osler's Web: Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic
