Summary:

This book describes direct and recursive methods for the construction of combinatorial designs. It is ideally suited to the statistician through its discussion of how the designs currently used in experimental work have been obtained and through its coverage of other known and potentially useful designs. It is equally suited to the needs of the combinatorialist, with its stress on the statistical motivation for studying particular finite structures and its suggestions of open problems in the construction of new designs with useful properties for the experimentalist. Designs are discussed within a unified framework, showing the interplay between elegant structure and practical use.
