This review is from: Satellite Imagery For The Masses: How to Use and Profit From the Satellite Revolution (Paperback)
I bought this out of pure curiosity and found it very interesting. The money making ideas were rather interesting if for no other reason than learning the MANY ways satellite images are sold--including land and property that you probably live in or work with. It's really quite amazing how the technology itself operates and filled in a lot of blanks regarding everything from property tax assessments [wow!] to how this is used to find illegal drugs and much more. If you are an expert in this area then it is likely far to simple for you--but if you are just a curious novice like myself, this is incredible technology. Amazingly, it's everywhere but just rarely noticed. Great introduction book with information that you don't run across every day.
