"…clearly and efficiently covers a large amount of material in a relatively small number of pages. This is the book I will share with consulting clients who have data with below detection limit values." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2006)

"...an excellent addition to an upper level undergraduate course on environmental statistics, and it is a 'must-have' desk reference for environmental practitioners dealing with censored datasets." (Vadose Zone Journal, February 2006)
