Good definitions but Very technical October 29, 2008
I would like to start by stating that I am a graduate student with some background in GIS enrolled in an introductory level Remote Sensing Course. This book goes into great detail on the topic of remote sensing. For an introductory level book, it is very technical and takes a lot of extra effort to retain all of the information that it has to offer. Its's good to take breaks while reading this book because you will find yourself re-reading things several times before you actually "get it." The definitions at the end of each chapter are a great feature. While the book is very technical, individual chapters often don't give you enough related information to answer their review questions.

Introduction to Remote Sensing April 24, 2008
It's a very goond text for introduction to remote Sensing. The contents
are rather comprehensive and versatile. They could be grouped in different ways to suite for different purposes of the courses.

Great update to a classic November 6, 2007

I read the first edition back around 1991 in college and this was a great refresher to the subject. I especially like the updates on LIDAR and Hyperspectral RS. The writing is clear and easy to understand and the bibliography is a great resource too.
