From reviews of previous editions:"This book needs no recommendation as its predecessor has already made its name.  We should thank Professor Last and all his contributors for providing us with such a useful tool."--International Journal of Epidemiology"The production of a second edition of A Dictionary of Epidemiology after only five years is a tribute to its success and a function of the rate of change of both the subject matter and the methods of epidemiological research...Buy the book.  You will not regret it."--Canadian Journal of Public Health"Reflects an impressive array of contributors....A most useful help to precision in the use of epidemiological terms and ought to find a place on most library and department shelves."--British Medical Journal"A unique and authoritative source of reference that should be widely available wherever epidemiological work is being undertaken."--Community Health Studies"Many definitions are substantially more informative that their standard dictionary counterparts."--Annals of Internal Medicine"Consider this an essential companion to serious reading of the medical literature."--Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine"Last has performed a great service for students and professionals alike....A reference book that few college libraries--and certainly no medical library--will want to be without."--Choice
