Leon S. Robertson, Ph.D. -- Books and background information:

This page provides links to Leon Robertson's publications and downloads of free books, "Make America Great Again: Myths, Lies, and Facts", and the 2022 update of the 4th edition of "Injury Epidemiology".

The latest book is "Roads to COVID-19 Containment and Spread". From the back cover: "Too often, the lessons of a response to a disaster such as a pandemic, are not learned but are ignored, resulting in a lack of improved responses to future similar events. Dr. Robertson explores the potential for learning about a range of impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and translates his understanding of the science behind the lessons for the reader who is not a scientist, but who would like to learn more about what needs to be learned to inform the response to future events. He describes the virus, as well as an analysis of the factors that contributed to effective and ineffective responses to its potential for spread, as well as the impact of conspiracy theories and politics. He leaves the reader with an understanding of what we can and should learn from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic." Linda C. Degutis, DrPH, MSN, Past President, American Public Health Association

Make America Great Again:Myths, Lies and Facts is about the history of a large number of major problems and solutions performed by our form of government and their relevance to today's problems. It is about solutions to problems that are being ignored or abandoned.
