Reviews and Awards
a vast improvement on Lawrence's text ... It is far more user-friendly, easier to read, and each chapter contains invaluable referenced summary tables of published work on its subject ... the book is well referenced and reasonably up to date ... has a good feel about it and is easy to 'dip' into; rheumatologists will also find it an invaluable source of reference for estamates of prevalence of disease and the role of risk factors. I would recommend it for all academic rheumatology units. - T.D. Spector, Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, (Dec) 1994
an authoritative volume on the epidemiology of the rheumatic diseases ... a book which makes good reading for all rheumatologists whether their work is mainly in clinical rheumatology or in the research laboratory. One can only be impressed by the immense amount of data incorporated in a relatively small book, by the comprehensive nature of the work, and by the easy style in which it is written ... this volume should be available to every rheumatologist either on his own bookshelf or in the departmental library. - Colin G. Barnes, The Royal London Hospital, Rheumatology in Europe, Vol. 241.1 1995
an extremely useful reference book being well written and structured so that it is easy to dip in and extract the relevant information ... It will be useful for those clinicians working in the field of rheumatic diseases and also to epidemiologists and public health doctors researching or reviewing the epidemiology of these diseases. - Elaine Church, International Journal of Epidemiology 24.1, Feb '95
