Rezensionen

From the reviews: "This book is mainly intended for graduate students and research workers 'interested in applied Earth sciences'. ... it has very useful, brief descriptions of subjects ... . There are figures on most pages, which considerably help the understanding of the subject ... . The index is very good ... . Libraries should definitely purchase it as a useful reference book, especially with its more than usual references to tropical countries ... ." (R.B.King, The Photogrammetric Record, Vol. 18 (104), 2003) From the reviews of the second edition: "This is a useful book for teaching remote sensing and how it can be used in geology in particular. ... The book is divided into 16 very interesting chapters. ... The appendices at the end are very good in explaining what is meant by color along with other valuable items. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who is teaching remote sensing for geologists." (Fouad Michael, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, Vol. 87 (12), 2003)
