Review
." . . the authors enthusiasm for her subject transports her to sublimity: 'Enjoy reading Hooke. Discover his remarkable intellect, originality, and sense of humor. Relish his diction and turn of phrasing. Savor his colorful metaphors. Marvel at his keen mind . . .' and so on. But then, why dont we do just that? There can be few more agreeable opportunities than with this book."--Graham Chinner, Geological Magazine
Review
From reviews of the 1st edition: `The clear writing style and excellent illustrations, this a very appealing book... This book is technically accurate, idiosyncratic, well-written, superbly illustrated.' Times Higher Education Supplement
`This title is an entertaining yet serious account of monitoring our changing planet and is accessible to anyone with an interest in the environment and space science.' GIS Europe, March 1998
This title is an entertaining yet serious account of monitoring our changing planet and is accessible to anyone with an interest in the environment and space science. Mapping Awareness, April 1998
The winning feature with this text, as with the first edition, is in its reproduction and use of images to support the text. The majority of the images are reproduced in colour, which must represent the most striking and fascinating collection of images covering a broad range of applications and areas presented in any text on the subject. As an introductory text for high-school students and nonexpert individuals interested in learning more about remote sensing, and its uses, this book cannot be surpassed./Progress in Physical Geography.
