Oxford University Press Computational Molecular Evolution
Book SynopsisThe field of molecular evolution has experienced explosive growth in recent years due to the rapid accumulation of genetic sequence data, continuous improvements to computer hardware and software, and the development of sophisticated analytical methods. The increasing availability of large genomic data sets requires powerful statistical methods to analyse and interpret them, generating both computational and conceptual challenges for the field.Computational Molecular Evolution provides an up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of modern statistical and computational methods used in molecular evolutionary analysis, such as maximum likelihood and Bayesian statistics. Yang describes the models, methods and algorithms that are most useful for analysing the ever-increasing supply of molecular sequence data, with a view to furthering our understanding of the evolution of genes and genomes. The book emphasizes essential concepts rather than mathematical proofs. It includes detailed derivationsTrade ReviewWhat sets this books apart is the authority and thoughtfulness with which it is written, the thorough coverage of the relevant literature, and the great care that has been taken in the computational examples to compare different methods on the same set of data, and to present the results clearly. It will be an invaluable resource both for new graduate students and established researchers. It will be a major source for insight and enormously helpful for anyone who wants to understand molecular phylogenies. * The Quarterly Review of Biology *Table of ContentsPREFACE ; APPENDIXES ; REFERENCE

Oxford University Press Health Promotion
Book SynopsisHealth Promotion: Ideology, Discipline, and Specialism is a thorough examination of the field, advancing clear proposals for its development and future, and is essential reading for those needing an understanding of the theoretical background, historical context, or the challenges that health promotion faces today. Health promotion is a term which has been used varyingly to describe an ideology, a discipline, or a profession, and has subtly different meanings when used in each of these ways. Dr John Kemm presents a nuanced understanding of the complexities of the field, and careful consideration of the theoretical and practical difficulties involved.With the core belief that health promotion has a vital contribution to make to the health of populations, this book is packed with the knowledge and tools necessary to help people contribute in real and practical ways to health promotion. Its timely examination of the strategies and legislation of successive governments in the UK informs thTrade ReviewThe book is well structured and referenced. * Mr Peter Trebiko, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Public Health *Table of Contents1.

Oxford University Press Epidemiology Matters
Book SynopsisEpidemiology Matters offers a new approach to understanding and identifying the causes of disease -- and with it, how to prevent disease and improve human health. Utilizing visual explanations and examples, this text provides an accessible, step-by-step introduction to the fundamentals of epidemiologic study, from design to analysis. Across fourteen chapters, Epidemiology Matters teaches the individual competencies that underlie the conduct of an epidemiologic study: identifying populations; measuring exposures and health indicators; taking a sample; estimating associations between exposures and health indicators; assessing evidence for causes working together; assessing internal and external validity of results. With its consequentialist approach -- designing epidemiologic studies that aim to inform our understanding, and therefore improve public health -- Epidemiology Matters is an introductory text for the next generation of students in medicine and public health.Trade ReviewEpidemiology Matters makes a nice addition to the existing roster of introductory epidemiology texts. The authors provide a clear introduction to central epidemiologic concepts, including causality, internal validity, external validity, study design, and measures of association using a step-bystep approach. Their well-designed website provides useful supplementary materials... The book will be useful to students who take only one course in epidemiology, as well as to scholars who decide to pursue epidemiology in more depth. * American Journal of Epidemiology *This is a unique addition to the ever-expanding library of introductory epidemiology books. The material is easily accessible to beginners, and the consequentialist approach brethes new life into the field.Table of Contents1. An introduction ; 2. What is a population and what is population health? ; 3. What is an exposure, what is a disease, and how do we measure them? ; 4. What is a sample? ; 5. Watching a sample, counting cases ; 6. Are exposures associated with health indicators? ; 7. What is a cause? ; 8. Is the association causal, or are there alternative explanations? ; 9. How do non-causal associations arise? ; 10. How can we mitigate against non-causal associations in design and analysis? ; 11. When do causes work together? ; 12. Do the results matter beyond the study sample? ; 13.

Oxford University Press Inc Social Epidemiology
Book SynopsisSocial epidemiology is the study of how the social world influences -- and in many cases defines -- the fundamental determinants of health. This link was substantiated in the first edition of Social Epidemiology, and the generation of research that followed has fundamentally changed the way we understand epidemiology and public health. This much-awaited second edition elevates the field again, first by codifying the last decade of research, then by extending it to examine how public policies impact health. The new edition includes: 11 fully updated chapters, including entries on the links between health and discrimination, income inequality, social networks, and emotion Four all-new chapters on the role of policies in shaping health, including how to translate evidence into action with multi-level interventions Updated references, detailing the best research over the last two decadesThe result is a bold, brilliant text that will serve the new world of epidemiology in which scientists bTrade ReviewAn extraordinary work of scholarship.

Oxford University Press STAT MODELS EPIDEMIOLOGY P
Book SynopsisThis self-contained account of the statistical basis of epidemiology has been written specifically for those with a basic training in biology, therefore no previous knowledge is assumed and the mathematics is deliberately kept at a manageable level. The authors show how all statistical analysis of data is based on probability models, and once one understands the model, analysis follows easily. In showing how to use models in epidemiology the authors have chosen to emphasize the role of likelihood, an approach to statistics which is both simple and intuitively satisfying. More complex problems can then be tackled by natural extensions of the simple methods. Based on a highly successful course, this book explains the essential statistics for all epidemiologists.Trade ReviewUnlike many textbooks in epidemiology, there is no long wordy preamble. The characteristic style is set straight away. The book is also highly successful in presenting a unified approach. What is also striking, is that the authors have managed to say something useful and clear about many of the all too numerous minor problems that are inevitably encountered in practice. In my view this is simply an excellent text. * Andrew Pickles, Institute of Psychiatry, London, Statistical Methods in Medical Research 1994:3 *An excellent text which provides the simplest and most logical exposition that I have seen of the statistical foundations for current techniques for analysing epidemiological data, and provides an excellent preparation for more detailed treatments. * Australasian Epidemiological Association News, 12/94 *Provides probably the most coherent and logical exposition of the use of statistical models in epidemiology that is currently available ... an excellent text which provides the simplest and most logical exposition that I have seen of the statistical foundations for current techniques for analysing epidemiological data, and provides an excellent preparation for more detailed treatments. * AEA News 12/94 *Clayton and Hills have filled the gap with an interesting text which is based mainly on probability models and likelihood. This is an unusual approach. but is precisely what is missing in many other textbooks for epidemiologists ... this is an important text for those interested in understanding statistical reasoning in epidemiology. * Maria Blettner, International Journal of Epidemiology *The authors have produced a text that will be extremely valuable to those teaching epidemiologic methods... Statistical Models in Epidemiology courageously cuts new paths into the traditional epidemiologic approach to statistical training. * Journal of the American Statistics Association *This book gives some very clear explanations ... Each point is well illustrated with small examples and there are exercises throughout. It is pleasing to see full solution to all the exercises. * Public Health (1994) 108 *Table of ContentsI.

Oxford University Press New Directions in Conservation Medicine
Book SynopsisIn recent years, species and ecosystems have been threatened by many anthropogenic factors manifested in local and global declines of populations and species. Although we consider conservation medicine an emerging field, the concept is the result of the long evolution of transdisciplinary thinking within the health and ecological sciences and the better understanding of the complexity within these various fields of knowledge. Conservation medicine was born from the cross fertilization of ideas generated by this new transdisciplinary design. It examines the links among changes in climate, habitat quality, and land use; emergence and re-emergence of infectious agents, parasites and environmental contaminants; and maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem functions as they sustain the health of plant and animal communities including humans. During the past ten years, new tools and institutional initiatives for assessing and monitoring ecological health concerns have emerged: landscape epiTable of ContentsIntroduction ; (A.
