New chapters introduce modern approaches to sampling methods for rare and sensitive events and for natural phenomena, with particular reference to contemporary biological, environmental and social issues. Wide-ranging topical examples on all topics are given throughout the text. Practical exercises are presented at chapter ends, and numerical answers are provided in all cases. As well as new chapters covering a wider range of fields in which sample surveys can be used, new features in this new edition include chapter summaries and an expanded bibliography and reference section.
