Antonio, I just got the Cowpertwait and Metcalfe book (released today in the U.S.) and I think it's what you're looking for. It has good, practical examples and lots of sample code. I looked at Cryer's book, but it had too much on time series theory for my purposes; Cowpertcalfe helpfully marks the "theory sections" with asterisks for easy ignorability.
Good luck.

Searching at Amazon I found three books with examples in R: Time Series Analysis: With Applications in R by Jonathan D. Cryer and Jonathan D. Cryer Time Series Analysis and Its Applications: With R Examples by Robert H. Shumway and Robert H. Shumway Introductory Time Series with R (Use R) by Paul S.P. Cowpertwait and Andrew V. Metcalfe I would like to receive any suggestion of which is most appropriate for a non-statistician (I am a biologist). Reading only the index I could not evaluate it. Thanks in advance, Antonio Olinto Marine Fisheries Center Sao Paulo Fisheries Institute Brazil
