The Gordis Epidemiology, 7th Edition offers a clear and approachable introduction to the fundamentals of epidemiology, drawing from real-world examples and cases to bridge theory and practice. Authored by Drs. David Celentano, Moyses Szklo, and Youssef Farag, the book maintains the accessible style pioneered by Dr. Leon Gordis, making it widely favored by students, healthcare providers, and epidemiologists. Key features include vivid full-color visuals, such as charts and graphs, to enhance comprehension and retention.
