In nearly new condition: crisp, clean and tight with sharp corners and strong joints. But note: this copy is retired from the publisher?s library, so just showing a number tag affixed to the spine. Despite such, looks and feels unread and is now offered for sale at very reasonable price.

Review
This useful book ... summarizes important new developments in data availability, methodology and execution of small-area health studies. As the book is only 370 pages long, each chapter is relatively short and easily digestible; this makes the book useful for quick advice. (Peter Sainsbury, International Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 22, No. 5, Oct '93)
This book is the first to summarize the new developments in data availability, methodology, and the execution of small-area health studies. (WHO Collaborating Centre for Air Quality Management and Air Pollution Control Newsletter, No. 12, November 1993)
this book contains relevant and timely material for its target audience of epidemiologists, statisticians and geographers, among others ... Many ... chapters include comprehensive references. It should serve as a good reference text on a topic that deserves greater attention and deeper understanding. (Lianne Sheppard, University of Washington, Statistics in Medicine 1994, Vol. 13, No. 8)
a useful collation of articles from the many disciplines that have an interest in these studies, and as such is recommended to those who have a specialist interest in this field (Ken Muir, University of Nottingham. Journal of Public Health Medicine, Vol. 15, No. 4, 1993)
There is a useful review of how one can estimate population or years when census counts are not available. The problems and methods of estimating and mapping environmental exposure are well and thoroughly reviewed, though relatively brief. This book can be confidently recommended for graduate students, career and research epidemiologists, and espesially those in public health. (Martin Hugh-Jones, Louisiana State University, Preventative Veterinary Medicine 24 (1995))
there is much that we can learn from it as many of the methodological problems are generic and catholic ... This book can be confidently recommended for graduate students, career and research epidemiologists, and especially those in public health. (Martin Hugh-Jones, Louisiana State University, Preventive Veterinary Medicine 24 (1995))
