[For the review of the original edition from 1992 see Zbl 0850.62008.]
The book under review is written for those without an advanced background in mathematics. It introduces the basic theory and applications of order statistics and discusses current developments, and then covers topics such as distribution theory for order statistics from continuous and discrete populations, order statistics from specific distributions, including binomial and Poisson distributions, moment relations, bounds and approximations, characterizations using order statistics, order statistics in statistical inference, asymptotic theory and record values from continuous distributions.
