For over 40 years, satellites have been orbiting the Earth
quietly monitoring the state of our planet. Unseen by most
of us, they are providing information on the many changes
taking place, from movements in the land and volcanic
eruptions, to human-caused changes such as the growth of
cities, deforestation and the spread of pollutants in the
atmosphere and oceans. Led by four editors with support from
a production team at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, many
of the world's top remote sensing scientists showcase some
spectacular and beautiful satellite imagery along with
informed essays on the science behind these images and the
implications of what is shown. This is a stunningly
attractive and informative book for anyone interested in
environmental issues and the beauty of our home planet,
providing inspiration for students, teachers,
environmentalists and the general public alike.
