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, George 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 data 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.
