The text is a comprehensive introduction to RS that covers the science from physical basis to sensors and applications. It is not a HOW-TO-DO-IT book as opposed to a complete textbooks for students in this area who need good background of the science and its application. We use it as a good textbook for solid foundation prior to more practical texts on HOW-TO-DO-IT.

I am reading this book for an introductory course in Remote Sensing. I thoroughly enjoy the level of detail and the presentation of quantitative methods for analyzing data. The text can be somewhat dry (and dense) at times and difficult to digest, but for the most part, it manages to stay interesting. There are a lot of illustrations (including a whole section of color plates) that the student can reference. Also, the scope of the book is broad enough to be suitable for an introductory course, but still manages to stay focused (only 8 chapters!).

This book is one of the best on the market on Image Interpretation. After taking a class and the instructor had a different book (which was poorly written book) I bought this book. I found it interesting and easy to use, any math was explained step by step! I cant wait to get the 5th edition! This is a must for any person who is interested in this topic or is working in the field.

I had to buy this book for my masters class. It's an interesting book with lots of great information on remote sensing. It's a good text for the subject but a boring read when it's not your favorite subject.

Product arrived in the time as promised and in the condition as described 100% satisfied! I will definitely make all other purchases from through this consumer!

I had no idea when I was required to take Remote Sensing just how useful it would be in my future studies. After sampling several other books online, this one had better explainations and had the areas I am most interested in. It is fairly well written and my only complaint is the pictures could be better, but then I am sure that technology is the limiting factor here.

One of the best text books in Remote Sensing: comprehensive, complete. I have the 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions. Will wait to the 4th edition in paperback.

I am pleased with the condition of this used book. It was a great deal and it was delivered promptly.

I've seen other books give better explanations of remote sensing, and the amount of visuals in the book could be improved. They made concepts more difficult to understand they they had to.

Imagine a textbook without a glossary of terms. A book thatseems to use fancy nomenclature only as a tool to boostthe authors egos. Having strained through this text only by shear interest in Remote, I would advise any academic to look towards the piles of other more appropriatly constructed textbooks concerned with remote. As to the publishers claim that it also concerns itself with GIS applications, yes, but in an obscure and unfriendly manner. Do not consider this book as a textbook choice. It only serves to discredit the noble and forthright advances of a vital technology.
