It is uncommon to find so many important environmental topics covered in one book. Its strength is author Bryan Manly's ability to take a non-mathematical approach while keeping essential mathematical concepts intact. He clearly explains statistics without dwelling on heavy mathematical development. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins by describing the important role statistics play in environmental science. It focuses on how to collect data, highlighting the importance of sampling and experimental design in conducting rigorous science. It presents a variety of key topics specifically related to environmental science such as monitoring, impact assessment, risk assessment, correlated and censored data analysis, to name just a few. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevised, updated or expanded material on: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Quality Objectives\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeneralized Linear Models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpatial Data Analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCensored Data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMonte Carlo Risk Assessment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are numerous books on environmental statistics; however, while some focus on multivariate methods and others on the basic components of probability distributions and how they can be used for modeling phenomenon, most do not include the material on sampling and experimental design that this one does.
