This is definitely not a book for the faint-of-mathematical-heart.  As the  title indicates, this is a user's manual for the GSLIB software (which is  included on CD-ROM), and it includes discussions of all the supporting  statistical mathematics.  This makes the book invaluable to the user who is  already well-grounded in statistics, and difficult to follow for the rest.   There are very few lifelines to pull non-statisticians out of the jargon  mire.Nevertheless, if you're well-versed (and you probably are if you're  considering purchasing this software), this is one heck of a powerful set  of tools.  The software includes a Kriging smorgasbord, simulation,  variography, display tools, and is self-contained with few exceptions.  The  software is platform-independent, requiring only a Fortran compiler.  All  routines are written for Fortran77, and are uncompiled.  I found the  software user manual to be useful, well thought out, and complete.A  powerful tool at a bargain price!
