Reviews

This new volume by Dr. Buckland and his colleagues at the University of St. Andrews serves as both an introduction to distance sampling for people new to the field as well as a summary of recent developments. ... I recommend the book as an excellent entry into this fascinating area of estimation and research. The R code alone is worth the purchase price. (Mark Miller, BTO British Trust for Ornithology, bto.org, January, 2016)
