Reviews

.,. an exceptionally well presented research volume that contains original and significant research papers providing a cutting edge synthesis of the potential of integrated environmental modelling. (Photogrammetric Record, October 2001) <br> Overall, the book is ideal both for students and for researchers, both as a textbook and as a source of advanced reading. Those keen to pursue a research in terrain analysis will find the book very useful because it contains an extensive list of terrain parameters, compiled effectively with equations, diagrams, and explanations, and examples of their utilization in practical applications.
