Paul J. Curran rescued me from the remote sensing text chosen by my professor. I spent hours trying to understand certain principles, having no background in energy, reflectance, wave lengths, or any of the concepts necessary to understand how remote sensing works. Curran's book is direct, the index is helpful, and the diagrams make sense. With this supplement, my understanding was greatly enhanced. Some things never change. Light and energy still do what they've always done, and no "new" information about how they act has been introduced since this book was written. There may be a few new satellites relaying information, but I was interested in the "principles." This is a worthwhile book to add to a collection.
