 epi 101 July 15, 2008
Excellent textbook. It reads like a novel, and Dr. Gordis presents the material in a way that is easy to follow. I got the previous version of the book at our bookstore discounted because it was used, only to find that several pages were missing, and the previous owner's highlights were terrible.
The visual material of this book (graphs and charts) are much better in this version, and they're in COLOR!
Great Introductory Text January 10, 2008
This was a required text for my introductory epidemiology course. I have had an interest in epi for a number of years and approached the book with a fair amount of skepticism, especially given its relatively small size. After reading the first few chapters I found Gordis's writing style to be dry and too convoluted for otherwise simple topics. Saying this, halfway through the semester I really warmed up to the book and the author's subtle humor. The sections on odds ratios and matched/unmatched case-control studies were explained so well that I had a eureka moment that I had hoped for prior to taking my first USMLE step. For an introductory book, it covers with perfect detail the basic methods and principles of epidemiology and provides elegant descriptions of the applications to both clinical medicine and public health. The illustrations offer great clarity to the theory and I have already referenced them on many occasions during other courses and while reading journal articles. It will remain on my shelf until the next edition is released.
A wonderful Epidemiology text book December 6, 2007
This book is a wonderful concise reference in Epidemiology in relation also to health administration . It is extremely basic , straight forward from a leader in the field .
I enjoyed the simplicity of examples.

 Good for Intro to Epidemiology November 15, 2007
This book explains everything very clearly. It has good concrete real examples of diff studies and the things that are wrong with them. There are very few review questions, however, and sometimes the book rambles on and gets repetitive.
Best Epi book October 27, 2007
The most complete introductory book on market. For a more detailed textbook I would suggest looking at The Trichopoulos, Mac Mahon textbook.
