520 _aThe 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. New content highlights modern epidemiology through recent examples like COVID-19, and the book’s structure mirrors actual epidemiological workflows, covering observation, hypothesis formation, data collection, and analysis. End-of-chapter questions and a glossary of genetic terms provide additional study support, with over 200 extra multiple-choice questions available online. This edition also includes an eBook with customizable features, making it a versatile resource for understanding epidemiology’s role in a data-driven society. -- From publisher's description.
