Elementary book for Bayesian statistics

Question

I need to study the applications of Bayesian statistics in environmental sciences. For that I need a good book which can explain concepts from basics. I do have sufficient knowledge in probability but I am new to statistics. So keeping that in mind can someone suggest me books(available as a soft copy) or some other references (links, etc.)?

Answer 1

Chapter 11 of this book:
