Editorial Reviews

Review

This is the third edition of one of the best established introductory textbooks for undergraduate students. The authors' objective of producing an introductory text that is still broad enough to fulfil its tutorial purposes, yet compact enough to remain within the purchasing power of today's students has been admirably met.... completely updated.... one of the best textbooks of its kind.... lavishly illustrated.... excellent bibliography.... Another group who would do well to acquire and read this book are the many environmental planners, managers, etc. - EARSeL Newsletter; A workmanlike approach is apparent straight away...an excellent idea to start with the dictionary even if the terms are still unexplained...It is surprising that two authors manage to cover such a wide range of topics and to update them all...All of us in remote sensing teaching can continue to say Go and have a look in Barrett and Curtis and know that the students will appreciate the readable form of the book and will be encouraged to go further in their investigations - The Photogrammetric Record --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
