This book is a reference companion to the CD-ROM that provides an introduction to basic concepts in geostatistics, with emphasis on visualization, interpretation and data management. The book starts with typical examples of geostatistical problems, the concept of regionalized variables (or random fields), basic advantages and disadvantages of geostatistics. The following chapters concern data types and structures for 3D geostatistics (including hole, map and volume data), basic concepts related to regionalized variables (spatial variability, variogram, kriging, cross-validation), integration of geology with geostatistics (visualization tools, interpretation of geological structures and volumes, generation of geological volumes between triangulated surfaces, and grid data structure). Further, the author considers practical applications of geostatistics when the underlying distribution is non-normal, corrections for trends and anisotropy, relevant basic probabilistic concepts, sampling ideas, and practical data management. The book finishes with 4 worked examples accompanied by the relevant data sets. A strong emphasis is done on data visualization, much aided by nice images available from the CD-ROM. The mathematical content is reduced to an absolute minimum and is limited to discussing coordinate systems, the normal distribution, variogram and data transformations. In difference to beautiful images, mathematical formulas are mostly poorly printed. The CD-ROM provides the whole text of the book readable as HTML files and is accessible from all computer platforms without need for any installation. The HTML files include a handy table of contents and allow for a multilevel viewing (either summary or full text). Many keywords, all sections and references are linked creating a hypertext structure. Images are generally better to view from the CD-ROM, as the printed book itself contains all color images converted into grey scale. The CD-ROM is nicely mounted on the front cover (however, it would be better to glue its undercover paper, as it tends to fall out if the CD is taken out). The list of references is provided only on the CD-ROM. The book reaches its aim as applications of geostatistical theory require an integrated toolbox of statistical analysis, data management and visualization techniques. The hypertext document structure facilitates the integration of theoretical discussions with applications and worked examples. The readership will include those who are mainly interested in applications of geostatistics without much mathematical background, and also statisticians who may find it useful to learn about practical applications of geostatistical theory.
