Review
'This third edition of Campbell's excellent book provides college students and others with a timely overview of the latest innovations in the rapidly changing field of remote sensing Students gain a solid understanding of current applications as well as key principles to help them analyze future developments. Whether in biology, geography, geology, land use or natural resource management, this text is designed to meet a broad, multidisciplinary range of student backgrounds and interests.' - M. Duane Nellis, Department of Geography. West Virginia University; 'Introduction to Remote Sensing, Third Edition, continues to be one of the most complete textbooks available on remote sensing. Campbell covers all relevant topics, including aerial photography and all of the non-film-based sensors, as well as photogrammetric, visual, and digital analysis procedures. There are also chapters on GIS, accuracy assessment, and field data collection Suitable not only for undergraduates or graduates in the natural and social sciences, but also for those in engineering and related fields.' - Barry N. Haack, Department of Geography, Geogre Mason University; 'A rigorous and inviting text. Its outstanding features include instructive illustrations, color graphics, and review questions. The core knowledge of the field is covered with a complementary blend of theory, analysis and applications. Augmenting the solid foundation laid out in previous editions, the third edition contains updated content on hyperspectral sensing, satellite platforms and sensors, and date sources. Several chapters on applications provide an excellent means to truly appreciate the breadth and utility of remote sensing An excellent, comprehensive resource for those teaching, learning, or trying to keep up with changes in the field.' - Thomas R. Allen, Department of Political Science and Geography, Old Dominion University

"Introduction to Remote Sensing, Third Edition, continues to be one of the most complete textbooks available on remote sensing. Campbell covers all relevant topics, including aerial photography and all of the non-film-based sensors, as well as photogrammetric, visual, and digital analysis procedures. There are also chapters on GIS, accuracy assessment, and field data collection. Extremely well written, the book has excellent and extensive illustrations and images, good references, and a logical organization. It is easily understood yet comprehensive. This text is suitable not only for undergraduates or graduates in the natural and social sciences, but also for those in engineering and related fields. It could be used in its entirety in an overview course or sections could be selected for more focused courses. This is an excellent addition to available remote sensing texts."--Barry N. Haack, Department of Geography, George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia
