An excellent overview of basic principles of epidemiology and a good reference guide for reading clinical research articles.

I'm moving this to the Read shelf because it's been sitting on Currently Reading for an embarrassing amount of time. But because I keep going back to it. And I'll continue to use it as a reference, with Tom Lang's How to Report Statistics in Medicine: Annotated Guidelines for Authors, Editors and Reviewers.

With Dr. Kestenbaum's clear, informative webinar series (free registration required), this is an excellent movie and book combo!
