Numerous illustrations, graphs, maps, and tables serve to clarify difficult concepts and enhance the reader's understanding. Case Studies in Biometry demonstrates that biometry is a vitai and dynamic discipline, relevant to the study of somé of the most important substantive scientific and social issues that face us today, including: • Health care and public health policy • Habitat and animal studies • Environmental hazards • Clinical trials • Fisheries, forestry, genetics • Epidemiology and toxicology NICHOLAS LANGE is Mathematical Statistician and Special Expert, Neuroimaging, at the National Institutes of Health.
