"GPS -- beautifully explained and thoroughly understandable. A welcome presentation of a far- reaching but down-to-earth technology!"
Barney P. Popkin, Geosciences Team Leader, TetraTech EM, Inc. & Co-Chair, San Francisco Board of Supervisors' Hazardous Materials Advisory Committee.
"GPS for Everyone is a compelling, exciting and informative read for professional resource and infrastructure mappers, monitors and managers, as well as for lay readers. After her insightful and helpful book on Virtual Reality, Larijani again engages us with an accurate, clear, timely guide to a high-tech topic. She takes us on a delightful historical and practical journey, using everyday words and amusing sketches, and covers the practical applications in spades. She answers the questions (1) What is GPS? (2) How does it work? (3) What can it do? (4) What can't it yet do? And (5) What's being done to turn (4) into (3)? Once opened, it's a hard book to close until finished!"
