Field Epidemiology
"The second edition of Dr. Michael Gregg's Field Epidemiology, like the first edition from 1996, is an important contribution to the area of applied epidemiology. This book fills an important niche, particularly in view of the anthrax bioterrorism attacks in September 2001. Considering the resources now being directed toward bioterrorism preparedness, this book is needed...it certainly should be read and available for reference."--American Journal of Epidemiology"Clearly this book provides an excellent primer in basic epidemiologic techniques, including discussions of principles and surveillance; collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data; surveys and sampling; even the more advanced topics, such as confounding, the role of chance, and the exploration of interactions, are discussed...Thus, such a book provides readers with a greater appreciation and understanding for work behind the resulting publication...Overall, I find the writing to be lucid and readable."--Emerging Infectious Diseases
