Practical Handbook of Remote Sensing

By Samantha Lavender and Andrew Lavender

Book Overview

The number of Earth observation satellites launched in recent years is growing exponentially, along with the datasets they gather from free-to-access and commercial providers. The second edition of Practical Handbook of Remote Sensing is updated with new explanations and practical examples using the Copernicus satellite data and new versions of the open-source software. A new chapter and new applications have also been added. Thoroughly revised, the handbook continues to be a practical "how-to" remote sensing guide for those who want to use the technology, understand what is available, how to access it, and answer questions about our planet, but do not necessarily want to become scientific experts.

A good book on landscape sketch and graphic

This book covers almost every aspect of landscape sketch and graphic. It is good for you if you want to learn hand sketch, it is also good for you if you want to create nice CAD drawings. Many of the tree /shrub symbols in both plan views and elevation views are nicely done, they can inspire you to create nice computer blocks for trees and shrubs for plans and sections and elevations. It covers graphic language and design...

Landscape Graphics Plan, Section, and Perspective Drawing of Landscape Spaces

Excellent resource for learning how to draw trees, vegetation and other elements for architectural presentation drawings. Many of the drawings can be photocopied and pasted on your own drawings and the author encourages you to do so if you are sketch-ability-deficient. Very good value.

Outstanding for a Beginning Landscape Designer

A beginning landscape designer, or one who may be self-taught, will find this book to provide invaluable assistance in using scales properly; applying graphic designs in the most representative way and using the plan, section and perspective views in the most effective and professional ways and at the most appropriate times. I am using it as a required text in a Master of Landscape Architecture course.

Wow! What a great book, and working tool for the desiger.

Loved this book. I am a self-taught landscape designer. This book brings home to me one of the reasons I am self-taught. I am one of those people that learn better when left alone with a good instruction manual. This is one of those books that gets right to the point and covers just about everything. It's packed with page after page of graphics, and just enough text to explain what is not obvious. And for 15.95, such a...

An Excellent Resource Book for All.

This is an excellent book to refer to as a student of Landscape Architecture. Includes starting with Concept Plans, Design stages, right through to finished rendering techniques and more. I 100% recommended this Publication.
