From the reviews:

"This book of 21 chapters by 46 authors consists of papers presented at the international conference on the topic of the title, organized in Tromsø, Norway in 2003. … Overall, the book is especially useful for scholars of the interaction between ecosystems in the northern part of the world in this case mainly European, and the humans affected by climate changes over which they have no control, but to which they must adapt." (The Polar Times, Vol. 3 (12), 2007)
"This 21-chapter edited volume is a synthesis of papers presented at an international conference on ‘Arctic Alpine Ecosystems and People in a Changing Environment,’ held in Norway in early 2003. … The material covered is strongly multidisciplinary in nature, while some of the individual chapters provide authoritative and accessible reviews or treatments of their subject matter, making the volume a valuable literature resource." (Pete Convey, Polar Record, Vol. 44(4), 2008)
"This 434-page, multi-author volume touches upon alpine data for, at most, 20 pages. By referring to ‘environment’ the authors primarily mean climate and pollutants. … Those topics addressed in the book read well, mostly go into great depth, and are nicely supported by diagrams, some of which are in color. … All in all, this book … should be on the bookshelves at all Arctic Circle research institutions, particularly those that focus on aquatic life." (Christian Körner, EOS, Vol. 88 (16), April, 2007)

of Bayes procedures, Empirical Bayes procedures and their ramifications
(like linear Bayes estimation, restricted Bayes least square prediction,
constrained Bayes estimation, Bayesian robustness) in making inference
from a finite population sampling. Parimal Mukhopadhyay is Professor at

From the reviews of the second edition:
"The book is providing … geologists in general, with a topical review of classical geological themes together with their physical background … . gives a more profound understanding of the boundary conditions of the validity of commonly used approaches in geology. … students, researchers and professional geologists … benefit from better understanding the underlying physics. This book gives them an excellent opportunity to start this understanding. … an excellent opportunity for bridging the gap between the pure physics and its application to geology." (Noël Vandenberghe, Geologica Belgica, Vol. 8(1-2), 2005)

"The theme of the book is providing sedimentologists, and in fact geologists in general, with a topical review of classical geological themes … . it is beyond doubt that students, researchers and professional geologists using geological concepts will benefit from better understanding the underlying physics. … The book is well written in an almost narrative style with a lot of personal flavor … . the book could be an excellent opportunity for bridging the gap between the pure physics and its application to geology." (Noël Vandenberghe, Geologica Belgica, Vol. 8 (1-2), 2005)
"This second edition of Hsü’s famous book has long been waited for. … all chapters end with a section on ‘Suggested Reading’, which is most helpful. … the 11 chapters dealing with physical processes are of high quality from a didactic point of view. … The figures in the book are, as a rule, clear and didactically of high quality. … for many sedimentologists the book will be very useful, indeed. … For students the book will certainly be useful … ." (A.J. (Tom) van Loon, Journal of Sedimentary Research, January, 2005)

From the reviews:“The main aim of the book is to introduce the modern tools and methodologies of the so-called partial order ranking for prioritization of objects by many different characteristics. … is addressed to graduate students and specialists in environmental, ecological, and other applied sciences requiring ordering and prioritization of many objects by numerous characteristics. … these new methods of partial order analysis can be insightful and useful, and extend the regular tool-kit of statisticians applying more conventional methods of PCA, factor analysis, data clustering, and segmentation.” (Stan Lipovetsky, Technometrics, Vol. 54 (2), May, 2012)
