"Many books and papers discussing the blocking of experimental designs have been published since the appearance of the pioneer work of Ronald Fisher nearly a century ago. Unlike most of them, the author of the book approaches this topic as an application of the theory of optimum design. This is achieved without presenting too complex mathematical derivations of results, while those provided are clearly presented and easy to follow...A valuable addition to the literature on Design of Experiments." -Biometrics, June 2004
"The Optimal Design of Blocked and Split-Plot Experiments is a good overview of the techniques available in the optimal design of blocked and split-plot experiments, including the author's own great research in this field. The optimal design approach advocated in this book will help practitioners of statistics in setting up tailor-made experiments. It is also a good reference book for researchers and students in applied statistics." Techometrics, February 2005
