Across the last forty years, epidemiology has developed into a
vibrant scientific discipline that brings together the social and
biological sciences, incorporating everything from statistics to
the philosophy of science in its aim to study and track the
distribution and determinants of health events. A now-classic text,
the second edition of this essential introduction to epidemiology
presents the core concepts in a unified approach that aims to cut
through the fog and elucidate the fundamental concepts. Rather than
focusing on formulas or dogma, the book presents basic
epidemiologic principles and concepts in a coherent and
straightforward exposition. By emphasizing a unifying set of ideas,
students will develop a strong foundation for understanding the
principles of epidemiologic research.
