Charles Sanders Peirce is quickly becoming the dominant figure in
the history of American philosophy. The breadth and depth of his
work has begun to obscure even the brightest of his contemporaries.
Concerning the interpretation of his work, however, there are two
distinct schools. The first holds that Peirce's work is an
aggregate of important but disconnected insights. The second school
argues that his work is a systematic philosophy with many pieces of
the overall picture still obscure or missing. It is this second
view which seems to me the most reasonable, in part because it has
been convincingly defended by other scholars, but most importantly
because Peirce himself described his philosophy as systematic: What
I would recommend is that every person who wishes to form an
opinion concerning fundamental problems should first of all make a
complete survey of human knowledge, should take note of all the
valuable ideas in each branch of science, should observe in just
what respect each has been successful and where it has failed, in
order that, in the light of the thorough acquaintance so attained
of the available materials for a philosophical theory and of the
nature and strength of each, he may proceed to the study of what
the problem of philosophy consists in, and of the proper way of
solving it (6. 9) [1].

This study concerns the use of distance sampling to estimate the
density or abundance of biological populations. Line and point
transect sampling are the primary distance methods. Here, lines or
points are surveyed in the field and the observer records a
distance to those objects of interest that are detected. The sample
data are the set of distances of detected objects and any relevant
covariates; however, many objects may remain undetected during the
course of the survey. Distance sampling provides a way to obtain
reliable estimates of density of objects under fairly mild
assumptions. Distance sampling is an extension of plot sampling
methods where it is assumed that all objects within sample plots
are counted. The objective of this book is to provide a
comprehensive treatment of distance sampling theory and
application. It covers the theory and application of distance
sampling with emphasis on line and point transects. Specialized
applications are noted briefly, such as trapping webs and cue
counts. General considerations are given to the design of distance
sampling surveys.
