| Abstract
|
:
|
The first comprehensive, sole-authored, cohesive historical overview of epidemiology and its evolution, written by an elder statesman of the epidemiology community in the US, Mervyn Susser. Former Chair of Epidemiology at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, and the author of several Oxford books. This book will include a section of conceptual chapters, including chapters on the relation of concepts to causes, the concept of environment, and numeracy in epidemiology. It will then discuss history more specifically, with chapters on the French Enlightenment, the British Sanitary Movement, and bacteriology and germ theory. It will conclude with a section on epidemiology as it emerged into an academic discipline, after WWII, and will discuss future directions for the field.
