One of the key geographical developments over the last two centuries has been that of urbanisation. In recent years this has exploded globally, particularly in developing countries. It is essential for governments, planners and researchers in geography and allied fields to understand this process and the main way of being able to do this is to accurately map these changes. The main method of this mapping is Remote Sensing. This up-to-date analysis of the area looks at a wide range of methodologies currently being used to produce and analyse remotely sensed data of urban areas. The authors examine the various techniques used to extract information from digital, multispectral images of urban areas. Donnay and Barnsley then go on to look at the identification of urban forms, the delineation of agglomerations and the development of urban morphology, considering the analysis of integrated data sets and surface models and going on to look at the estimation of human population levels.

Geomatics is a neologism, the use of which is becoming increasingly widespread, even if it is not still universally accepted. It includes several disciplines and te- niques for the study of the Earth’s surface and its environments, and computer science plays a decisive role. A more meaningful and appropriate expression is G- spatial Information or GeoInformation. Geo-spatial Information embeds topography in its more modern forms (measurements with electronic instrumentation, sophisticated techniques of data analysis and network compensation, global satellite positioning techniques, laser scanning, etc.), analytical and digital photogrammetry, satellite and airborne remote sensing, numerica...
Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.
La storia regionale come mezzo per verificare e comprendere i decisivi cambiamenti in uno dei punti più caldi e più vivi della storia di un popolo, è questo l'aspetto significativo ed originale del lavoro che analizza le vicende politiche sociali della Spezia e Lunigiana dall'unità alla conclusione della seconda guerra mondiale. La Lunigiana storica dalla fine del Risorgimento ai tentativi insurrezionali organizzati dal partito d'Azione e dai mazziniani, per arrivare alla nascita dell'industria e della classe operaia e alla diffusione dell'Internazionale. E ancora la fondazione del partito socialista e la sua azione politica, la stampa cittadina e la lotta amministrativa di fine secolo, ...
