ALLAN G. PIERSOL is a professional engineer in private practice specializing in the analysis of and design for shock, vibration, and acoustical environments. He received a B.S. in engineering physics from the University of Illinois and an M.S. in engineering from UCLA, and is licensed in both mechanical and safety engineering. Mr. Piersol is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology, and a recipient of the latter organization's Irvin Vigness Memorial Award. He is the co-author with Julius S. Bendat of several books, including ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS OF CORRELATION AND SPECTRAL ANALYSIS and RANDOM DATA: ANALYSIS AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES, as well as a contributor to numerous engineering handbooks. Mr. Piersol was previously a Principal Engineer at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Inc., and an adjunct instructor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southern California. Julius S. Bendat, PhD, is President of the J. S. Bendat Company, an independent mathematical consulting firm in Los Angeles, California. An internationally recognized authority in the field, Dr. Bendat has over fifty years of consulting experience in the formulation of mathematical models, the development of statistical error analysis criteria, and the interpretation of engineering results. He is the author of Nonlinear System Techniques and Applications and coauthor of Engineering Applications of Correlation and Spectral Analysis, Second Edition, both published by Wiley.

"...time series analysts will certainly wish to have continuing access to both books and libraries will want to get copies of both new editions." (Technometrics, Vol. 42, No. 4, May 2001)

The book is a good practical reference for working engineers and scientists in many fields. (Zentralblatt Math, Volume 953, March 2001)

"...can be recommended for practical working engineers and scientists to support their daily work, as well as for university readers as a teaching textbook in advanced courses" (Measurement Science & Technology, December 2000)
