This book provides a comprehensive overview of both qualitative andquantitative aspects of reliability. Mathematical and statisticalconcepts related to reliability modeling and analysis are presentedalong with important bibliography and a listing of resources whichincludes journals, reliability standards, other publications, anddatabases. The coverage of individual topics is not always deep,but this should be a valuable reference for any engineer orstatisticial working in reliability.

(Short Book Reviews, Vol. 20,No. 3, December 2000) This book presents a remarkably broad framework for the analysis ofthe technical and commercial aspects of product reliability....Written by two highly respected experts in the field, thispractical work provides engineers, operations managers, and appliedstatisticians with both qualitative and quantitative tools forsolving a variety of complex, real-world reliability problems.(Zentralblatt Math, Volume 945, No 20, 2000) "...a comprehensive overview..." (Short Book Reviews, December2000) "...an excellent textbook for an advanced course in biostatisticsand also an indispensable reference for biostatisticians andepidemiologists" (Short Book Reviews, December 2000) "...an excellent book, distinguished by excellence of exposition,breadth and comprehensiveness of topical overage, relevance, numberand importance of examples, depth of references, and quality ofexercises...will become one of the standard references onreliability...so comprehensive...it would provide material for morethan a two-semester graduate sequence...will find a warm welcome inthe best graduate programs. I strongly recommend it."(Technometrics, Vol. 43, No. 4, November 2001) "I would recommend this book to practitioners and as a graduatelevel book."
