1.0 out of 5 stars
No colour figures/photos/plates in my copy!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Remote Sensing Geology (Hardcover)
I have been looking for a good remote sensing text related to geology for a while. I thought this brand new printing would be exactly what I was after, lots of detail and thorough explanations with pictures and diagrams, and obviously updated since the first edition of 1991.
Unfortunately, I am sending this back after only an hour of it being in my hands as the section of colour plates that the text refers to is entirely in black and white/grey-scale, and other figures/photos/plates within the text with titles that descibe areas of interest in terms of colour shades and changes are also in black and white/grey-scale. It is extremely frustrating to see something like a diagram of 'The concept of the Munsell clour circuit or wheel.' or an image of a copper porphyry with alteration zones described in colour appearance and find yourself looking at a grey-scale image. The frustration is that I can see that had the figures/photos/plates been in colour as described they would have been extremely useful and I would now be writing a rave review, it's such a pity ! The lack of colour sadly makes the book of little use as a reference or learning aid and certainly not worth the price in my opinion (US$239.00) although others might disagree. I hope the problem is my copy was a misprint or second but I suspect it wasn't. The search for a decent text continues (unless this was just a misprint or second of course).................... |
