Epidemiology a Very Short Introduction

What is epidemiology? What are the causes of a new disease? How can pandemics be prevented? Epidemiology is the study of the changing patterns of disease and its main aim is to improve the health of populations. It's a vital field, central to the health of society, to the identification of causes of disease, and to their management and prevention. Epidemiology has had an impact on many areas of medicine; from discovering the relationship between tobacco smoking and lung cancer, to the origin and spread of new epidemics. However, it is often poorly understood, largely due to misrepresentations.

How can we trace the causes of a disease, or tell when a pandemic has begun?...Saracci provides an insight into the logic and methods of epidemiology to show the value of investigating health and disease in human populations. He explains basic statistical concepts necessary for planning and analyzing epidemiological studies, and dispels common misunderstandings abouth their interpretation, looking not only at their ethical and political implications, but on public health as a whole" -- publisher description."
