Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

It got the job done for my class but I had to cut analysis look up examples of problems online for the statistics portion because the book just simply did not make sense. I was able to easily understand many of the statistical concepts after visiting Google.

the authors write as if addressing a group of scholars on the topic of epidemiology and biostats. This is supposed to be a basic text on the subject matter. Content is too dense, written in a manner too complicated, and resorted to UWorld for down to earth explanations.

Excellent, well written, inderstandable. Professional quality.

Covers a broad array of topics that are on the ABPM General Preventive Medicine Board exam as well as the common core exam for other ABPM specialties. However, I would supplement this book with Mayo Preventive Medicine Board Review book. While most chapters are fairly comprehensive, a few such as those on Occupational Medicine and Environmental Medicine are very brief, and not reach the full depth that I would have expected (hence the 4 star over 5 star).

The book arrived on time. The class sucked but that wasn’t the book’s fault.

Excellent.

Unable to read charts , had to re buy the book at Student Consult Elsevier

Like it.

I used it to prepare the exam of Publich Health, it’s not enough. It’s good if you need to recover some knowledge but it is not enough to study; in particular the part on occupational medicine it’s too much short

Easy to read and short chapters are great (not overwhelming). It would be awesome if there are lot more examples.

What I was looking for
