They named it Euclid, in honor of the inventor of survey mathematics. Settlers arrived ...

Epidemiology doesn't have to feel like a foreign language.Every year, thousands of students walk into their first epidemiology course armed with a stack of dense, jargon-heavy textbooks — and walk out still unsure of the difference between an odds ratio and a risk ratio, or why a screening program that looks like it saves lives might not actually be doing what it claims.Epidemiology Made Clear was written to close that gap.Across 31 chapter...

When you begin to read this book, sit down very near the window, and shut the window. I hope the view out of it is pretty; but, whatever the view may be, we shall find enough in it for an illustration of the first principles of perspective (or, literally, of “looking through”). Every pane of your window may be considered, if you choose, as a glass picture; and what you see through it, as painted on its surface. And if, holding your head still, you extend your hand to the glass, you may, wi...
