I'm currently an MPH student concentrating in infectious disease epidemiology. This book was required for my first infectious disease epidemiology course, and it quickly became a favorite that I will cherish forever. The text is exceedingly detailed, with excellent and thorough descriptions, useful graphics, and chapters written by leading experts in the field. How many textbooks can you honestly say you'd enjoy curling up with and reading for pleasure? Most are dry and sleep-inducing, while Dr. Nelson's text is as engaging as it is informative. The scope is broad and deep.If you buy only one book on infectious disease epidemiology, make it this one.(But really, do yourself a favor and also buy Giesecke's Modern Infectious Disease Epidemiology and the APHA's Control of Communicable Diseases Manual; these three books were made for each other.)
In-depth and comprehensive overview of infectious disease epidemiology. At the end of each chapter, the author provides a plethora of references relevant to the information cited. A great reference for beginner and experienced ID epidemiologist alike. I highly recommend.
Purchased for one of my graduate classes. It's full of interesting facts but considering a bulk of the book is just reference pages combined with a lack of color or graphics on the page make this a tough read.
All you need to know about infectious diseases epidemiology. Clearly written and very up to date, comprehensive yet easy to read.
Really enjoy this book!! I have really enjoyed the different chapters
not to read at the night of the exam,otherwise it is excellent
Pretty good and well protected during shipping!
Good textbook, I appreciated.
