My professor is Ray Merrill and, naturally, I love it! :) TRUTH is; it's a damn good introduction to a complex subject. So far, I have gotten one A, one A+ and one B+. -This book explains the material clearly so even I can "get" it. . . .

And, yes, my instructor is the textbook author. FYI, Ray Merrill is professor in residence at BYU. Great school. Great online. Great professors.

This textbook of epidemiology shares the current culture and trends of this aspect of the health sciences.It is most helpful for those delving into a new area of epidemiology.It provides introductory materials,taking you to some of the original founders of the science and deals with descriptive and anlytical epidemiology in a way that prepares you for case control and other study cases used in clinical epidemiology.

A good introduction as a first year course in medicine and those pursuing their first degree in pharmacy and environmental health science!!!

Bought this as a new book. The spine was slightly torn and there was some writing in the book. Not a lot so it was very usable but it was listed as a new book and that is why I bought it. Very disappointing to find out that it was used.

My son is reading this book as he is learning epidemiology for Science Olympiad. This book is clear and easy to understand. The first few chapters are a great introduction to the subject.

I'll preface by saying this was required for a class I took. This book was definitely helpful in outlining terms, ideas, and methods of studying epidemiology. It's not filled with a lot of fluff: it's chock-full of information, which may make it a difficult read for some people. The explanations were very thorough, and there wasn't much that I needed to have clarified by my instructor. A very good outline on the basics of the subject.
