This volume makes a valiant attempt at tackling a very complex subject that, despite the wide availability of statistical software, remains fraught with difficulties. So far most textbooks on experimental design have shied away from the intricacies involved in analyzing unbalanced data or data involving missing or outlying observations. This book is indeed breaking new ground by plowing through a myriad of rather practical design situations that simply cannot be interpreted by methods involving pretty mathematics. The material is presented at a level understandable to workers with a solid but not necessarily overwhelming background in the analysis of linear models. A good course in the analysis of variance should be sufficient to proceed through this book at a motivating pace. A cursory browsing reveals that a reader might increase the book's benefits by having available the GLM procedure of the SAS Institute (1982).The book is separated into 32 brief chapters. The first four cover such basic techniques as multiple comparisons and the concept of a design structure. Chapters 5-8 continue to cover basics, but one is startled to find split-plot, repeated measurement designs, and estimability explained early when compared to books with a similar level of presentation. Here the authors make clear the advantages of the means model over the effects model. They cover contrasts of main and interaction effects in the first of several interesting case studies. These case studies are instructive examples of the various situations under discussion presented with a concise statistical solution. Unfortunately, the authors restrict themselves to a presentation of the statistical results and rarely translate statistical language into the concepts of the original investigator.
