The first version of this book was published in 1980 (under the title ``Sampling for Health Professionals) and the second version in 1991. The present updated version consists of 16 chapters which are divided into three parts. The first part contains basic concepts necessary for the further treatment: population, population units, population parameters, probability and non-probability samples, sampling frames, estimates of population parameters, sampling distributions, bias, etc. In the second part, basic sample designs, i.e. simple random sampling, systematic sampling, stratified random sampling, and cluster sampling are considered. Also linearization and replication methods for variance estimation in complex sample surveys are treated. The third part is devoted to dealing with nonresponse and to some sampling and estimation techniques that are developed for special purposes: network sampling, synthetic estimation, and randomized response. Special attention is paid to telephone sampling. The corresponding chapter has been written by Robert J. Cassady and James M. Lepkowsky. The last chapter of the book is devoted to the design-based analysis of statistical data. The authors have succeeded in writing a user-friendly book for practitioners. Procedures are presented in a step-by-step manner. Important formulas are collected into boxes so that one can easily find them. A lot of numerical examples is included. It is shown how to use software packages SUDAAN and STATA for calculating estimates and standard errors in the case of various sampling designs. The files listed in the book are accessible via Internet. At the end of each chapter a reader can find a set of exercises and a bibliography. However, although most of the cited articles and books are published by Wiley, an essential and quite recent book by \textit{C.-E. Särndal}, \textit{B. Swensson} and \textit{J. Wretman}, Model assisted survey sampling. (1992; Zbl 0742.62008), could have been added to the reference list of almost each chapter.
