AB Interest in population research has increased greatly in the past few years. It is satisfying to note that this book reflects the true critical scientific spirit in that field; in fact the entire book is devoted to pointing out the faults in basic information and the means of bettering them, and to methodologic pitfalls which should be avoided. Numerous factors in this field of research are difficult to evaluate. Consequently there are many problems which are faced in population investigations which are common to those of clinical research. As companionate sciences, population research and clinical investigation have much to learn from each other which should prove mutually beneficial.
