"This is really an excellent, masterly, authoritative book about the statistical shape and size-and-shape analysis of landmark data. It provides the conceptual elements and then specific relationships and equations, working toward the various applications. The main results and equations are given in the text. In addition, there is a lot of information about how to use the tools...The book is well written with a well-integrated system of terms, notations, and derivations. Numerous elements on the historical background are provided. The reviewer highly recommends the reading of this book." (Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet, July 2017)"Statistical methods applied to shape analysis. Great for biologists, but strong mathematical treatment and accompanying code expands possible applications." (Raspberry Pi, March 2017)
