"This is a fascinating book mixing geometry, topology and probability theory.." (London Mathematical Society Bulletin, Vol 32, 2000)

"The potential value that his volume should have to researchers in many areas for years to come." (Short Book Reviews, August 2000)

"I would like to conclude this review by strongly recommending that geodists have this book on desk within ready reach of hands" (Journal of Geodesy, Vol. 75, 2001)

"...a mathematical jewel..." (Mathematical Reviews, 2003g)

David George Kendall FRS was an English statistician and mathematician, known for his work on probability, statistical shape analysis, ley lines and queueing theory. He spent most of his academic life in the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge.
