Review :
"... LANDSAT examples are given, which is freely downloadable satellite data. I recommend this book for global circulation in print as well as [the] digital format." —Professor Saumitra Mukherjee, Convener (Geology Remote sensing and Space Sciences), School of Environmental Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India "… provides readers with a unique insight into the exciting world of remote sensing for the non-experts, with chapters developing theoretical knowledge combined with hands-on practical’s. The book also describes some of the ESA Earth Observation activities, ranging from the development and exploitation of missions to the generation and processing of climate data sets." —Pierre-Philippe Mathieu, European Space Agency – ESRIN, Italy "The approach is designed for new users and the practical examples…will help readers… gain experience without having to struggle with high end software packages. … a wealth of useful information which can be obtained without too much effort but with an understanding of the processes and the potential of remotely sensed data…" —Ian Dowman, University College London, UK
