Title: avoid this book like the plague!
Review: The trouble with this book is that the first author (Rothman) has convinced many epidemiologists that he is an authority on statistics when he is not. His crusade against adjustment for multiple comparisons has lead a large number of epidemiology students (and faculty) far astray from accepted statistical practice. The entire book becomes suspect because of Rothman's anti-statistics bias. Try the books by Friis & Sellers, MacMahon & Pugh, Clayton & Hills or the classic text 'Epidemiologic Research' by Klienbaum, Kupper & Morgenstern. Since many epidemiology faculty still require this text for their courses - try borrowing it from a classmate and purchase 'Epidemiologic Research' instead. You'll be glad you did!
