Excellent advanced text for geologic remote sensers As a graduate student in geologic remote sensing, I've had a difficult time finding a text that doesn't start from a discussion of the EM spectrum or being so complex it's unusable. This text assumes a certain base knowledge and jumps right into relatively advanced concepts with ample discussion and case studies. The discussions are clear and easy to follow without getting bogged down in high level physics, chemistry, and math, although the appendices explore this end of it. Being written from a geol. This book is OK. A Customer This book lacks sophistication, but is excellent for someone wanting a very general understanding of remote sensing. It is not rigourous enough for a college level course. Most major topics are introduced in a cursory manner, and some discussions the author makes are simply "odd".. "Absolutely poor textbook" according to A Customer. This book lacks any new science. The author's "tangents" into other aspects of geology are often inacurate and misleading to students of any level. The author's claims of science and discovery are eccentric and very odd to read. This book needed a more detailed peer review process.
