 EPI October 11, 2008
Its an excellent book that throws light not only on fundamentals but also on the intricacies of epidemiology.It describes various aspects in a comprehensive yet simple way.The Book is definitely a Visual treat.Buy it as its Worth it!
Excellent resource September 30, 2008
Books by Gordis have been used for Epidemiology courses everywhere,and the course I am taking is from a federal educational institution. The book is excellent, resourceful, packaged with an online supplement which is very helpful. The book talks mostly about chronic epidemiology, which of course is the trend due to an overbearing presence of chronic diseases in the society. The cover is colorful, content is appropriate, but the book is light and easy to handle, unlike the big, fat books associated with epidemiology. A good book for someone who is doing the basics of epidemiology, good one for someone proficient in epidemiology as well.
 Save your money - buy the third edition August 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this comment useful.
I agree with most of the other reviews here and also think this is a good introductory text. If you can get past the bad jokes and frequent references to Christianity, its clearly written and has good examples. However, this 4th edition is a classic example of an author repackaging an old textbook as a new edition and trying to make money off of it. Gordis claims that the 4th edition has many changes, but in reality the chapters are the same and only a few less significant references have been updated. My advice is to save your money and buy the third edition - just as good and much cheaper.
Clear, concise explanations of important concepts August 14, 2008
This is a great introductory book. Unlike previous editions, the diagrams and tables are in color which makes them easier to read. Gordis offers easy-to-understand explanations of concepts and provides interesting real-world examples to illustrate key points.
Excellent July 31, 2008
