“This book attempts to present the theory of sample selection and estimation in the context of sampling from finite populations via a concept called ‘pseudo-populations’. … On the whole, this book is a welcome addition to the subject. … it will serve as a useful reference for graduate students specializing in survey sampling.” (Aloke Dey, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2016)
