Reviews
"A crucial addtion to any library or epidemiologist's bookshelf." --CHOICE "A required tool for any student of the discipline. New students found definitions from the book to be approachable and quite clear. Students further along in their studies appreciated the straightforward definitions. The fun I experience in perusing the Dictionary is based in my ability to quickly grasp the meaning of critical terms. The vast majority of definitions are limited to a few concise, comprehendible lines, written in laymen's language." --American Journal of Epidemiology "This is an absolute mine of information. The reach of this book is enormous, and I for one will always have it on the lowest of my book shelves within easy reach. This is an excellent way of refreshing, revising, and reminding yourself when memory has faded a little. It is a 'must-have' for any serious epidemiologist or student of epidemiology." --Public Health "The dictionary can be of interest to a wide audience of people, scientists or not, who either just discovered or are familiar with epidemiology. This short and handy dictionary is definitely a creative knowledge object." --Preventive Medicine "Anybody among us -- epidemiologists and would-be epidemiologists -- should also have a copy of this book at hand for frequent consultation. Miquel Porta dealt with the challenge of preparing reader-friendly texts on a wide range of subjects, which will satisfy both a beginner and an experienced epidemiologist. Priceless!" --Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health "A required reference for the student or the recent graduate in the discipline. Also for those who stuck to previous editions and now realize it is time to update." --Gaceta Sanitaria "An important and welcome source of authoritative information. It will undoubtedly be widely consulted by students, health practitioners and researchers in a multitude of social sciences and health-related disciplines." --Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy Featured in The Epidemiology Monitor. "Greatly superior to searching though epidemiology papers for definitions of terms or concepts. Printed books may be going out of fashion, but a paperback on the desk is actually more 'user-friendly' than wading through entries of questionable provenance on a search engine." -- European Journal of Clinical Investigation "A source of fascinating insights in the subjects I know and a challenging and tantalizing introduction to subjects I do not know-a vital resource for students, practitioners, teachers, and resources." -- Annals of Epidemiology, Featured in The Epidemiology Monitor."Greatly superior to searching though epidemiology papers for definitions of terms or concepts.

American Journal of Preventative MedicineFeatured in the International Journal of Epidemiology"This dictionary continues to be the definitive source of epidemiological terms, concepts, and measures. It clarifies the language for a discipline that evolves with time. The updates in this edition justify replacement of all prior editions in your collection." -- Doody's Health Sciences ReviewFeatured in The Lancet"[This] book is complete and yet compact, with all the major and many minor terms and concepts covered." -- American Journal of Epidemiology, "A crucial addtion to any library or epidemiologist's bookshelf." --CHOICE "A required tool for any student of the discipline.

- t***l (500)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat seller! Fast shipping! Well packaged! Good communication and the item was exactly as listed! A pleasure to do business with! Thank you!
- 1***l (126)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem came exactly as the photos were shown. Seller was kind to give me an offer for the item, but I wasn't able to accept it just yet, but when I had the chance to buy this, I sent the same offer the seller offered, and he/she was cool to accept it. Item was packaged very nicely and even bubble-wrapped. This was a great find, and as a sucker for all things history and dictionaries, this was a good find. A good seller too.
- y***y (313)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs described, well packed, shipping was very slow, seller did not even ship the book until the day before the latest estimated arrival date. And I think the only reason they shipped when they did was because I inquired whether they had shipped. 4 hours AFTER my inquiry, the book was shipped! I still gave positive feedback because the book WAS as described and carefully packed for shipping.
