Data-sets mentioned in the book are available here in text format.
Most of the data is also distributed with the geoR and geoRglm packages for the R project. Note:

• (geoR) indicates the data set is available with the geoR package
• (geoRglm) indicates the data set is available with the geoRglm package
• data() is the command to upload the data from the packages
