Summary: Great book very bad writing
Comment: This is a truly great book on this subject, but it is obvious that the text is mostly transcribed lecture or lab notes. The writing is so bad (run on and fragments) that the publisher should have caught this, and should provide all of us who purchased the book a free revised and updated copy.
But down to the real stuff. The author rightly critcizes the use of mapping rates by unit areas for to gain inference about disease patterns; and, provides some nifty insights into how important error modeling is; perhaps the book's real strong point. However, like most books on this subject, including the infamous Cressie, a huge assumption is made about the readers. Most public health people and epidemiologists have no clue about this area of analysis. Moreover, there needs to be a book where this stuff is presented so that most who would benefit could understand the subject matter.
If you like run on and sentence fragments and especially finding out what defines a real disease cluster then get this book.
