Getting Started in Geostats,
By M.J Burnett (Benoni, Gauteng South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Geostatistics 2000 Book and CD (Spiral-bound)
Having first encountered geostatistics in a rather round about way, Isobel's first book was of great use, her second book has out done this. The 2000 version takes one from basics with non mathematical explanations of key concepts, through to the end result (linear kriging). The examples are relevant and applicable in real life situations (As I work on a South African gold mine and am involved in geostatistical training this is the type of manual that I wished I had had a while back). The only short comming that I have is the use of a demo package of Isobel's software for the worked examples. I have found that one of the major stumbling blocks when doing geostatistics is the software, thus the reader would need to familiarise themselves with the software used by the company/ institution and then apply this to the examples or vica versa. This is , as Isobel points out, an introductory book and not for advanced users. I would recommend this to anyone that has a limited exposure to geostatistics and is in a situation where they must teach themselves. Along with several other geostatistical practitioners I await her next book in anticipation)Mark Burnett ORM South Africa

Practical Geostatistics - definitely NOT Voodoo Statistics!,
By Gavin Lind (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Geostatistics 2000 (Spiral-bound)
Practical Geostatistics 2000 is an excellent volume for both teacher and learner written by world authorities in the field of statistics and geostaticstics. It combines theory with examples and exercises from various 'real world' applications of the techniques presented. With the software and data sets being free with the book, both teacher and learner can enforce and revisit the principles presented. The importance of this book cannot be ignored by any learner in this field, with the nature of the practical approach and use of data from actual applications making it a necessary companion to every user in whatever field of application (be it mining, ecology, agriculture, fishing or any other known or unknown application).

Good reference book,
By "donaldc101" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Geostatistics 2000 (Spiral-bound)
This is the best treatment of this subject that I've seen. It covers just about everything that you need to know on geostatistics.
