“Indeed, [the authors] have accomplished an almost impossible task: a far-reaching review of infectious disease epidemiology including state-of-the-art chapters on methodological issues, pathogenesis, and comprehensive reviews of virtually all known infectious diseases. Overall, the book is an excellent synthesis. ...the major strength of this textbook is the collective expertise and experience of its editors and contributing authors. ... an outstanding textbook for students and scholars of epidemiology and related biomedical fields. In addition, it is a fantastic reference book for the informed lay public who want to learn more about infectious diseases and their epidemiology and control.” —American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 167, No. 8, © 2008
"The book is wonderful. I wish I had found this book 3 years ago when I started teaching the course. All the other books I have found focus on just stats or some particular portion of epidemiology — this is a very good mix."
—Michael A. Land PhD, Department of Biology/Microbiology, Nothwestern State University
