Of all my textbooks, this has been one of the most enjoyable to read. I really like that the chapters are short and to the point, giving me the basic information without all the unnecessary fluff I seem to find in so many other textbooks. My only problem was that sometimes the graphs were a little hard to read at first and lacked a key or index to help me understand what exactly I was looking at.By Kristen Stumpf
Kindle version is excellent. I love the option to search and it really helped with online open-book quizzes for my class. However, the pages are not consistent with the paper copy of this book, which might be a problem for some people.
Excellent textbook. Up-to-date information on global health issues. An easy read. I don't dread my reading assignments! Thought-provoking material on global disease.By JP
