Some reactions from people who bought the book.

bulletI don’t normally write emails out of the blue, however, I wish to inform you that I recently purchased ‘Analysing Ecological Data’. The book is brilliant, it is clear, concise and the examples are fantastic. It has instantly become my ‘go to’ book. Congratulations on producing such a fine piece of work. I will be preaching your virtues to all the unconverted. Cheers. Dr. Anthony Chariton. CSIRO, Australia.
bulletI just finished reading your book "Analysing Ecological Data". I liked it very much and learned a lot! Professor Antero Jarvinen, Director Kilpisjarvi Biological Station. University of Helsinki, Finland.
bulletI love your recent book "Analysing Ecological Data". I think it is an extraordinary platform for being taught in basic stats and analysis, as well as for reaching chaos due to the new techniques that one will want to test with his own data sets. I would appreciate too much the possibility of being provided with the R code. Thanks for you effort. Dr. Jaime Otero Villar. ECOBIOMAR Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas, CSIC, Spain.
bulletI just purchased your book "Analysing Ecological Data" a few days ago and from the first impression I have to say you did a fantastic job. Thanks a lot for this brilliant textbook, it will guide me through my future research. I noticed on your web page that you are thinking about publishing the R codes. As I am in the process of learning R, I would really appreciate this step. Many thanks again. Klaus Birkhofer, Department of Animal Ecology, Justus-Liebig-University, Giessen, Germany.
