Human Genome Epidemiology is edited by three well-recognized experts in genetic epidemiology, and their experience shows in the information and organization of this text. While they do not define their intended audience, the material focuses on the complexities of epidemiologic study and design in population-based genomics. Readability characterizes all the chapters, and the concepts will be accessible to anyone with a firm grounding in epidemiologic principles. Hence, the book will be useful for both the graduate student and the experienced practitioner who wish to learn more about this field.
