Summary:	This concise, conceptually rich, and accessible book is a rallying cry for a return to the study and discussion of epidemiologic theory: what it is, why it matters, how it has changed over time, and its implications for improving population health and promoting health equity. By tracing its history and contours from ancient societies on through the development of - and debates within - contemporary epidemiology worldwide, Dr Krieger shows how epidemiologic theory has long shaped epidemiologic practice, knowledge, and the politics of public health. This second edition has been fully revised and updated.
