This book is an introduction to the science of epidemiology. It explores epidemiology methods that have been employed to elucidate some of the most important causal relationships between exposures (whether to infections, dietary factors, toxins or behaviors) and disease and injury. I have included disease investigations from the middle of the 19th century to the 21 century. In most cases, the investigations I describe led to successful measures which helped to markedly lower disease rates and prevent premature deaths.
