(CHOICE, July 2005) "The writing is straightforward and the explanations provided by the author clearly illustrate with liberal inclusion of examples and computer printouts the material discussed." (Journal of Hazardous Materials, June 2005) "…an invaluable text allowing students to develop appropriate key skills…" (Journal of the American Water Resources Association, February 2005) "…ideal for any science student who needs a primer in using Microsoft software for data analysis...teachers who support project-based learning will find this complete review invaluable."
