This is a really well written, comprehensive book. It covers just about anything you'd want to know about clinical studies. It will teach you a lot even if you've been doing clinical research for a while, it's very sophisticated. But not too many equations, although it has a few. You will probably find it very accessible even if you're new to clinical research. Buy it!
