As an instructor of modules in epidemiology and biostatistics for freshman medical students, I find the fourth edition of Glaser's biostatistics and epidemiology book to be a noteworthy revision of earlier editions. Explanations of likelihood ratios, survival analysis, Cox hazard analysis and information on meta-analyses, effectiveness research and decision analysis address omissions in earlier publications. Unfortunately, in an unnecessary attempt to come in at 100 pages or less mention of hypothesis testing of multiple groups (ANOVA) and non-parametric testing (Wilcoxon sign rank, etc.) get short shrift. And more egregiously, all end-of-chapter questions (and answers) have been eliminated.
I will be telling my students to purchase the new edition but borrow an old edition for the problem-solving sections.
As to delivery of the book; UPS left it on the front porch in a rain storm. After 2 days of drying, the book is usable but wrinkled.

I used this book to supplement my M1 course in biostats. It has all the topics and they are presented completely and fairly clearly for the most part, though I'd like to see more specific short examples. My main complaint is that there are some errors as follows:
page 71 I think the formula for specificity is wrong
page 94 there is an example where the Population Attributable Risk is calculated to be 0.068 and the next sentence refers to 7.2%, which may have been the value in a previous edition. Confusing.
These are just the errors I noticed that didn't agree with my course or with the First Aid stats section. Made me nervous that there might be other errata that I didn't notice because I'm not as familiar with the topic. All in all seems like a good source for Step 1, but I can't yet confirm this.
