This is a substandard printing of a text book.
The Chapters do not match the hardcover version of the 2nd Edition being used by my professor and some classmates. Also the text references color images, but this entire book is printed in black and white. The first table of contents page is partially glued to the cover of the book, only by dumb luck, it does not obscure the text of the table of contents, because it was indented so far from the left edge of the page. I am not sure if the conceptual differences in the teaching of this text are also in the hardcover or not, but there are some mis-statements of formulas and other facts which are a bit confusing, but given some time and careful consideration you can find them out.

Book needs updating and modernization
The book needs updating and modernization as there is too much concentration on needless details and not enough attention to 'hands on' learning.' Much of it is in antiquated black and white format as remote sensing is a very colorful, powerful, and highly advanced modern technique and the very thin middle section was better. Professors: Do your students a favor and dump this technically antiquated ode to a tech dinosaur era. The new geology books are a good example as they are rife with good illustrations and technical illustration.
