Giedrius Vanagas

In my opinion best is:

Beaglehole, R.; Bonita, R.; and Kjellström, T. (2006). Basic Epidemiology. Geneva: World Health Organization.

It is free available to download from WHO:

Leon Gordis' Epidemiology. Good for under an graduate studies http://www.amazon.com/Epidemiology-4th-Edition-Leon-Gordis/dp/1416040021

Azfar-E-Alam Siddiqi

I endorse Leon Gordis's Epidemiology. For more advanced courses Gordis followed by Modern Epidemiology by Kenneth Rothman make a great 1-2 combination.

Katharina Diehl

I would recommend "Epidemiology" by Gordis, too. We use this book in our epidemiology module in the masters course "Health Economics". In my mind, this book is very useful.

Rajsinh Mohite

"Epidemiology" by Leon Gordis and WHO '' Basic principles of Epidemiology" by R. Bonita are the best books.

Matthew S Thiese

I also think that Rothman KJ. Epidemiology: An Introduction. Oxford University Press, and Hebel JR. & McCarter RJ. Study Guide to Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2006 are solid options as well.

Aleksandar P. Medarevic

Gordis's book is the best option for newcomers. Easy understood, vivid and captivating. For everything further I recommend you https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Epidemiology-Wolfgang-Ahrens/dp/038709833X.

It is everything in one: designs, communicable and non-communicable diseases, spatial epidemiology, statistics...
