[Kevin · Rating 4 out of 5]

While very dry and technical throughout, this is an exhaustive and useful review of nearly every aspect of its subject matter. From aerial to satellite, radar to visual to lidar, and with all manner of analysis and interpretation covered, if you intend to do study of the earth's surface this will tell you all of the methods and tools available (and used in the past, if historical data is in play). The math and specifics can be overwhelming, but they are often supplemental to the main focus of teaching the methods and practises.

Teaches remote sensing fairly well. It does fall flat on some areas as certain topics are implied and some of the order of chapter seems off.
