Review
This is the sampling text that I have been waiting for; it is the book I wish I could have written. There has been a real need for a text that covers theoretical material at this level and also includes real applications and modern topics in sampling, such as the model-based approach . . . Very readable.

"The writing style is excellent . . . The informal style is a definite plus . . . The exercises are good. They don't seem to be aimed at doing 'stuff' but more at understanding."
