Hi,
In addition to the list provided by Paul, I would like to add
Geostatistics for Environmental Scientists, 2nd Edition
Richard Webster, Margaret A. Oliver
I have used it in courses for agricultural and environmental engineers
and it worked well. I think that the balance between mathematical
complexity and applications is quite good.
Best,
Virgilio
