"This is a fascinating book mixing geometry, topology and probability theory..." (London Mathematical Society Bulletin, Vol 32, 2000) "The potential value that his volume should have to researchers in many areas for years to come." (Short Book Reviews, August 2000) "I would like to conclude this review by strongly recommending that geodists have this book on desk within ready reach of hands" (Journal of Geodesy, Vol. 75, 2001) "...a mathematical jewel..." (Mathematical Reviews, 2003g)
"Shape and Shape Theory" ist eine hervorragende Abhandlung über die Theorie der Form, die abgeleitet aus dem Kendallschen Ansatz heute bekannt ist als Theorie von der Statik und Kinematik. Das Thema wird anhand einer Reihe von praktischen Beispielen anschaulich dargestellt. Die behandelten Theorien finden heute in einer Vielzahl von Disziplinen Anwendung, angefangen bei der Archäologie bis hin zur Physik. Eine willkommene Lektüre für jeden Statistiker und Mathematiker.
