Reviews

"...their approach is novel...and could potentially facilitate access to modern epidemiology for a public currently baffled by the often abstract and mathematical content of textbooks." -Alfredo Morabia, American Journal of Epidemiology

"The authors provide a clear introduction to central epidemiologic concepts, including causality, internal validity, external validity, study design, and measures of association using a step-by-step approach."  -Kristen A. Hahn, American Journal of Epidemiology

"I was particularly fond of the book's imaginative use of figures that presented many hard-to-explain concepts at a very intuitive level... The authors clearly took their time to empathize with students who may be exposed to this material for the first time."  -Michael Goodman, Annals of Epidemiology
