"This book … is a simple-to-read introductory text dealing with the most basic concepts of epidemiology. … It is an abbreviated, stand-alone version that narrows the discussion to the most ‘essential’ principles and methods in epidemiology. … The book would be very suitable for public health students, professionals, and teachers interested in time-efficient and enjoyable introduction to epidemiology. … In short, this book gives a good basis in the theory behind epidemiology and I highly recommend it as a first step into this discipline."
