After outlining the extent and characteristics of the random field approach, the book reviews the classical theory of multidimensional random processes and introduces basic probability concepts and methods in the random field context. It next gives a concise amount of the second-order analysis of homogeneous random fields, in both the space-time domain and the wave number-frequency domain. This is followed by a chapter on spectral moments and related measures of disorder and on level excursions and extremes of Gaussian and related random fields.
After developing a new framework of analysis based on local averages of one-, two-, and n-dimensional processes, the book concludes with a chapter discussing ramifications in the important areas of estimation, prediction, and control. The mathematical prerequisite has been held to basic college-level calculus.

Review
The author explains in a clear and thorough way the intricacies of random field modeling. Every time I pick up the book, I discover something new and exciting. I especially like its lucid coverage of the effects of local averaging, which provides an excellent basis for describing the world around us. --Gordon A Fenton Professor of Applied Mathematics Dalhousie University, Canada
As a researcher of the topic of laser beam propagation through random media for the last 35 years, I'm very familiar with random field theory. Vanmarcke's book on this highly complex topic is written in a way that makes the material very accessible. It is a key reference for my students. --Ronald L Phillips Professor Emeritus School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida and Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA
