Review

"In summary, Epidemiology: An Introduction is a superb addition to other publications that have appeared in the past decade. The author has achieved thestated goal of providing a coherent overview of epidemiologic principles and concepts."--American Journal of Epidemiology

"The conceptual scope of the book is comprehensive and sufficiently profound to provide a solid foundation for instruction in causal inference, study design, and data analysis and interpretation.--merican Journal of Epidemiology

"...no single textbook provides in sufficient detail the conceptual and technical requirements of an introductory course in epidemiology."--American Journal of Epidemiology

"Kenneth Rothman has taken the time to write a short and excellent introductory epidemiology textbook.... Frequently introductory texts strive for brevity through superficiality of coverage. Rothman chose a different approach: selectivity of subject matter. As a result, Epidemiology: An Introduction provides an exceptionally lucid overview of analytic epidemiology.... The mix of text, graphics, tables, and sidebars that is used throughout the book proves very useful in explicating important concepts such as confounding, interaction, study design, and biases, which may be challenging to the student in an introductory course.... The clarity of expression in this book should be an inspiration to other authors and teachers of epidemiology."--The Epidemiology Monitor

"The conceptual scope of the book is comprehensive and sufficiently profound to provide a solid foundation for instruction in causal inference, study design, and data analysis and interpretation."--American Journal of Epidemiology

"Epidemiology: An Introduction provides the perspective of a thoughtful and influential epidemiologist on the fundamental elements of his discipline... Rothman's focus is to clarify the "unifying set of ideas" that underlie the epidemiologic enterprise... In sum, this book provides a splendid introduction to our discipline."--Epidemiology
