Synopsis Dr Narayan acquaints the readers, using a simple language, with various aspects of the space-based remote sensing technology, a revolutionary new tool which can be applied in wide-ranging areas and for varying purposes like agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, biodiversity studies, monitoring urban growth, mapping wastelands, managing water resources and military uses. A compilation of a series of articles on remote sensing written by the author for publication in a leading national daily, the book shows how India is ahead in establishing the best remote sensing satellites and proper application of the data received from them. Reproducing many satellite pictures, it describes how they are useful in understanding and analysing resource management in diverse areas.
