" ... this is a superb book with wonderful map illustrations and is recommended to public health professionals who value maps as a presentational and educational medium; it provides insights into both disease occurrence and pathways to control, elimination, or both." Ralph R. Frerichs, DVM, DrPH in American Journal of Public Health
* Ralph R. Frerichs, DVM, DrPH in American Journal of Public Health *"... a powerful approach that will appeal to a wide audience and which should be a part of not just cartography lessons and collections, but medical history holdings as well. Midwest Book Review
* Midwest Book Review *"Those new to the field of medical geography, or interested in the potential of GIS as a tool in spatial epidemiology, will find this monograph a useful introduction. Attractively produced, with extensive notes and references, written in easily readable prose, the book is reasonably priced and should be of interest to many GIS professionals."
