Industry Reviews
In the past few decades, the many processes that take place between Earth and its atmosphere have been recorded in some form by satellites. Parkinson's introductory book manages to cover many of the important aspects of Earth-atmosphere remote sensing concisely and elegantly. . . . Written simply and clearly with numerous color figures that not only illustrate but also inform, this work excels in introducing the subject and will serve undergraduates ably.

The last few decades have seen an explosion in the use of satellite data to further our understanding of the Earth and its atmosphere. This book provides the information and teaches the skills necessary to comprehend satellite generated images. The author, a NASA climatologist, adopts an engaging, well-organized approach. She uses satellite data to examine a variety of environmental issues and, in doing so, addresses issues pertaining to the global environment as much as the interpretation of satellite data. The first two chapters assume no prior knowledge and provide a clear, concise introduction to satellites and radiation. The next six chapters examine a variety of environmental issues in detail. . . . Overall, this is a fine work that I recommend to any adult wishing to engage in self-study about environmental issues and the process by which scientists have learned, and continue to learn, about our changing planet.
