Appendices. Bibliography. Index Readership: Practising engineers and applied scientists in: geology, geomorphology, surveying, civil engineering, forestry, urban planning, soil science, ecology, agriculture, hydrology, cartography, including the military. All university and polytechnic libraries in these subjects; advanced students and researchers in departments of civil engineering, earth sciences, remote sensing; photogrammetry and surveying
Review

‘...the authors deserve to be congratulated on assembling a great deal of information into a conveniently-sized and readable book, and one that should be regarded as indispensable...’ Journal of Photographic Science.

‘...this is a book to be highly recommended for anyone contemplating using small format aerial photography and is particularly good on the acquisition of god usable photography...’ Civil Engineering Surveyor

‘...this book is tremendous: a quality product at a very reasonable price for its contents, written by three authors who are all experienced practitioners and teachers. ...is full of accumulated wisdom and helpful advice. ...Professional and amateur air photographers alike could assist their product quality and improve their efficiency from reading this book, while teachers have a source of information that they can recommend with confidence’.
