A previous review (Oceanography, 1999, 12[3], 53–54) described the contents of the first edition in detail, and praised the book as the most comprehensive and practical source of information on data analysis methods available to the physical oceanographer. Both the detailed description and the high praise remain applicable to the second edition, which is nearly identical to the first.
