This is a very well orgenized and clearly written interesting book. It is very coherent and fluently read and suits an introductory level course for students and professionals focusing on epidemiology, medical research and public health. Every chapter includes several interesting case studies and exercises, assisting in learning. A significant portion of the literature cited, is unfortunately old .
