Rating: 5
Summary: Thought provoking, direct, and well written
Comment: This is the best epid primer based on my growing experience with epid texts. It is concise and uses good examples. I refer to it regularly. The text also is a helpful companion to Modern Epidemiology (Rothman and Greenland).
Rating: 1
Summary: Pretty bad book if you ask me
Comment: This is my far the most boring epidemiological text I have ever read. The author fails to correctly explain terms that he uses and displays a lot of arrogance on his part (i.e. "obviously this is blah blah blah" occurs 2-4 times in every page. This is supposed to be "an introductory text" and should help/facilitate learning of epidemiology for the beginning student. The author does not explain new terms in complete sentences but in a philosophical manner, has too many poor as well as good examples, and tries to elucidate mathematical logic with overly wordy descriptions. C'mon, just show us how it is used without making us read a whole page about it! After reading chapter 3 and 4, I can honestly say that I will NEVER read another book by Rothman again. That's my 2 cents.
Rating: 4
Summary: simple and straightforward
Comment: A great cut-and-dry introduction to epidemiology. Although I would prefer to see some of the mathematical justification, for the less interested it's a good start. Examples are plentiful and clear, although some topics are handled as asides which may break up the flow of reading. Topics such as study design and measurements of association and occurence are clear-cut. Issues such as causation and confounding were sparse - helpful to supplement with Rothman & Greenland's "Modern Epidemiology".
