Franz Kafka

By: Sander L. Gilman

This short and readable critical biography emphasizes the relationship between Franz Kafka's life and works as read through his culture and his understanding of his own 'body'. Kafka's writings, letters and diaries provide a window into his ongoing attempt to create an identity for himself in a world where being a Central European Jew dictated an uneasy fate. Sander L. Gilman stresses the image and role of the Jew in Kafka's world of the 'modern' and how Kafka responded to these attitudes, actions and stereotypes." "Gilman also looks at the impact of psychoanalysis on Kafka and his works. The book contains much material that elucidates how Kafka reshaped such experiences of the world in his literary texts. It examines the creation of the 'Kafka-myth' after his death, presenting material emerging from the subsequent eighty years, including work by such illustrious minds as Walter Benjamin and Ted Hughes."--BOOK JACKET.

Modern Epidemiology

By: Kenneth J. Rothman,Sander Greenland,Timothy L. Lash

The thoroughly revised and updated Third Edition of the acclaimed Modern Epidemiology reflects both the conceptual development of this evolving science and the increasingly focal role that epidemiology plays in dealing with public health and medical problems. Coauthored by three leading epidemiologists, with sixteen additional contributors, this Third Edition is the most comprehensive and cohesive text on the principles and methods of epidemiologic research. The book covers a broad range of concepts and methods, such as basic measures of disease frequency and associations, study design, field methods, threats to validity, and assessing precision. It also covers advanced topics in data analysis such as Bayesian analysis, bias analysis, and hierarchical regression. Chapters examine specific areas of research such as disease surveillance, ecologic studies, social epidemiology, infectious disease epidemiology, genetic and molecular epidemiology, nutritional epidemiology, environmental epidemiology, reproductive epidemiology, and clinical epidemiology.
