Epidemiology for the non-epidemiologist

The author (who has been a prominent investigator in cancer epidemiology for many years) has written a "primer" on epidemiology for the rest of us. Taking a no non-sense approach to a complex subject, he uses humor and easy to understand concepts to make his subject matter both enjoyable and enlightening. This is a booklet for managers, lawyers, and those in the health sciences who need a jumpstart refresher ASAP.
