 A new edition that incorporates the most recent developments in epidemiology, 2008-11-24
The Dictionary of Epidemiology, sponsored by the International Epidemiology Association, is a 290-page book containing approximately 2600 definitions of words, acronyms and concepts used in epidemiology. It comprises a short reader guide on how best to use the Dictionary, and a reference section complemented by a bibliography.
Compared to the four previous editions, the fifth edition incorporates the developments of epidemiologic activity over the last ten years: evidence-based medicine, genetic epidemiology, causal models and graphs. The Dictionary can be of interest to a wide audience of people, scientists or not, who either just discovered or are familiar with epidemiology.

wonderful resource, 2008-05-09
I am a doctoral student in epidemiolgy and have been working in the field of public health for the past ten years. This book is highly recommended. It is particularly useful for MDs and other professionals who need quick and easily understandable explainations of epidemilogical terms.

The Absolute Best Resource for Epidemiologists, 2008-03-03
As a research and teaching assistant, as well as a 2nd year Epidemiology student, I have found this to be the absolute BEST book for resources within the subject. I have used this book to grade papers against (with definitions), and have used it in my own understanding of forgotten or convoluted concepts. If you want a very accurate, succinct definition of everything epi, you need this book. In fact, if you are involved in Epi in ANY way, you need this book. It is a wonderful book for an even better price. I carry it with me at all times.

 Review of "A Dictionary of Epidemiology" 4th edition, 2007-05-16
A useful reference by John Last, which, I believe, will be his last edition. Beginning researchers, especially non-epidemiologists such as clinicians, will find that many of the statistical and epidemiologic terms which they encounter in the medical literature are defined here in one compact reference.
