Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Foundations of Epidemiology has been widely used as an introductory text in a broad range of epidemiology courses. Minimal familiarity with statistics is assumed in the book. The text gives lucid, well-organized explanations of basic epidemiologic concepts such as rates and ratios, age-adjustment, incubation periods, investigation of an outbreak, time-place-and person, agent-host-environment, surveillance, screening, sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, odds
ratios, and case-control study design.
For the third edition, the authors have thoroughly revised the entire text. They have modernised the terminology, added many fresh examples and study problems, and refined the presentation of basic concepts to keep it in line with modern thinking.
