"This book will allow interpreters to approach their work with awider and deeper understanding of what has happened to imagerybefore it lands on their desk or computer." (Society of ExplorationGeophysicists, 1 August 2011) "The authors have described the key concepts and ideas withclarity and in a logical manner and have also included numerousrelevant conceptual illustrations. The book contains twenty threechapters, all of which are well written." (IAPR Newsletter, 1July 2011)Weitere Details
