Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"As an ecologist, GIS provides the platform that allows us to generate a holistic perspective of the natural world. This spatial understanding is so critical for us to be able to understand and address the global threats of biodiversity loss and climate change. Given the relevance of this geospatial perspective for all aspects of society, I hope this beautiful book will inspire a wide range of people to embrace the 'Science of Where.' " --Thomas Crowther, Director at Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative --Thomas Crowther "Advances in remote sensing and geographic information systems allow us to observe, monitor, and understand the planet in unprecedented levels of detail. Data that once had to be collected through painstaking and laborious fieldwork are now available instantly, online, anywhere. This beautifully illustrated and inspiring book brings home the power of today's technology with unique effectiveness, telling and illustrating stories from the earth sciences in novel and powerful ways. A must-have book for anyone concerned about the planet's future." --Mike Goodchild, Distinguished Emeritus Professor and Research Professor of Geography, UC Santa Barbara --Mike Goodchild "This book is beautiful as well as illuminating, and it dramatizes the ways in which the new science of geospatial information is enriching and empowering all other scientific disciplines." --James Fallows, Staff Writer at The Atlantic and former Chief Speechwriter for President Jimmy Carter --James Fallows
