Review
"…remains a key textbook for introducing the subject to students and self-learners with little previous exposure to epidemiology or health-related research." (Clinical Chemistry, November 2004)

“This is a fun book to read and provides a ‘light version’ of a specialty that often becomes ‘heavy’ and over burdensome...a wonderful beginning text and information source...Nicely done!” (Veterinary and Human Toxicology, Vol. 46, No. 2, April 2004)
