Reviews

From the reviews: Miettinen's readers know that he cares deeply about words and their usage. ... This new volume, too, is a type of dictionary--one divided into three broad categories: 'Medicine, Science, and Statistics'; 'Epidemiological Research Proper'; and 'Meta-Epidemiological Clinical Research.' ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners. (T. P. Gariepy, Choice, Vol. 49 (4), December, 2011) An important book for studying and gaining deeper insight into the theory of epidemiology. ... This book will be particularly helpful for those interested in theoretical epidemiology and concerned with proper usage of concepts and terms. We therefore warmly recommend it to all students of epidemiology and all practitioners of epidemiological research. (Jan van den Broeck and Jonathan R. Brestoff, International Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 41 (3), 2012)
