From the reviews: "This volume was produced as an attempt to provide a single, comprehensive guide to the theory and practical applications of truncated and pluriGaussian simulations, and is derived from a set of short course notes developed for pluriGaussian simulation courses run by the Centre de Geostatistique in Fontainebleau, France. ... The book is strongly recommended for geostatistics practitioners and simulation novices alike, and is a timely and welcome addition to a rapidly developing field." (Stella Searston, The Australian Geologist, Issue 129, 2003) From the reviews of the second edition: "It provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and applications of truncated Gaussian and plurigaussian simulation, a method that has been developed by the authors ... and is nowadays commonly used in petroleum and mining engineering to model rock types or facies in reservoirs and ore bodies. ... this new release will appeal to students, researchers, and practitioners, mainly geologists and reservoir engineers involved in the modeling of ore bodies and reservoirs, for whom it will represent a basic reference."
