Now available in paperback, this book is the first to address both the theoretical and practical issues which arise when describing the geographical distribution of disease and investigating apparent disease clusters. Requirements in terms of population data, disease incidence, and mortality are considered and related to the scale at which a study is being carried out. Statistical methods are reviewed for large scale correlation studies, intermediate scale map smoothing exercises, and small scale clustering investigations. Problems of measuring environmental exposures at different scales are also reviewed.
These issues are then related to current practice via comprehensive set of case studies which include a large correlation study in China, clustering of asthma attacks, the Sellafield-leukaemia cluster, environmental clusters of mesothelioma in Turkey, and a multi-source study if cancer incidence around an incinerator.

well written and very readable. For a work with so many different contributors the continuity and uniformity of style is good. ... I regard this book as being of considerable use and interest to public health physicians ... For anyone considering carrying out an investigation of apparent disease clustering this book would be an invaluable source of help and information. (Mike Roworth, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health)

There is a useful review of how one can estimate population or years when census counts are not available. The problems and methods of estimating and mapping environmental exposure are well and thoroughly reviewed, though relatively brief. This book can be confidently recommended for graduate students, career and research epidemiologists, and espesially those in public health. (Martin Hugh-Jones, Louisiana State University, Preventative Veterinary Medicine 24 (1995))
there is much that we can learn from it as many of the methodological problems are generic and catholic ...
