"Generally, the book succeeds in the areas it has selected.... The choice of authors is admirable. Many of the names (such as Joel Schwartz, Allan Smith, Douglas Dockery, as well as the editors) will be recognized as leaders in the field....I believe it would be appropriate for second year epidemiology students, or epidemiologists in other fields who want some background on envirnmental issues....Every student in environmental epidemiology should be exposed tothe lessons of Minamata and Yusho. This book provides a good way to get that exposure."--Epimonitor"Although the title-Topics in environmentral epidemiology-conjures up an image of a series of essays, each loosely connected by a broad subject but otherwise distinct in content and style, the image in misleading. This book provides a complete overview of the field reviewing both methodology and existing knowledge, with a coherent and readable style throughout....I enjoyed reading this book. In addition to those specifically interested in environmentalhealth, I believe it will be of interest to a variety of other readers. In particular, the chapters on methodology could be used by students of public health and epidemiology as introductorytexts."--International Journal of Epidemiology
