provides an exhaustive treatment of the statistical sampling and analysis issues that confront applied environmental statisticians and scientists. Drs. Millard and Neerchal have a rare talent for explaining and illustrating even the most difficult statistical procedures and principles in language that is clear and free of jargon. However, the most unique feature of the software and text is that they are seamlessly interwoven, each complimenting the other. The software illustrates the book and the book places the software in the context of the underlying environmental research questions. This is unprecedented. Together the software and the book clarify the DQO and DQA process to such an extent that it is hard for me to imagine applying these principles to my own work or teaching them to applied scientists without the two. - Michael Riggs, RTI The combination of easy-to-use software with easy access to a description of statistical methods is done with thoroughness and skill. -Richard Gilbert, Battelle Pacific NW Labs -JASA, September 2001 Environmental Statistics With S-PLUS is a textbook with a thorough coverage of basic data analysis, but it also ventures into more complex areas such as risk assessment and spatial statistics. Although the use of the relevant S-PLUS packages is described throughout, the book is basically about statistics, not software: It is statistics with rather than in or for S-PLUS. It is allegedly intended for just about anyone: in practice it would be suitable for many people with a background in engineering or environmental health. -Technometrics, Vol. 43, No. 4, November 2001
