N2  - Essentials of Biostatistics in Public Health, Third Edition provides a fundamental and engaging background for students learning to apply and appropriately interpret biostatistics applications in the field of public health.  Many examples are drawn directly from the author's remarkable clinical experiences with the renowned Framingham Heart Study, making this text practical, interesting, and accessible for those with little mathematical background. The examples are real, relevant, and manageable in size so that students can easily focus on applications rather than become overwhelmed by computations.  The Third Edition offers a new chapter on data visualization and interpretation including guidance on reporting statistical results in tables, figures and text.  Examples of well-organized, detailed and appropriately formatted tables and figures are provided along with samples of how best to interpret them.  Examples of poorly organized tables and figures are also included to illustrate common misinterpretations of results, due in part to lack of clarity in presentation.  -- Provided by publisher
