This text tells the story of how epidemiologists - those who investigate patterns of disease in populations - go about their work and the many successes they had in ferretting out the causes of disease and the consequences of treatment.

"In Investigating Disease Patterns: The Science of Epidemiology , Paul D. Stolley and Tamar Lasky trace the evolution of epidemiology from the days when most illnesses were God's wrath made manifest to today's more scientific approach. The result is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated story." New Scientist
