"Remote Sensing of Urban and Suburban Areas" provides instructors with a text reference that has a logical and easy-to-follow flow of topics around which they can structure the syllabi of their urban remote sensing courses. Topics have been chosen to bridge the gap between remote sensing and urban studies through a better understanding of the science that underlies both fields. In so doing, the book includes 17 chapters written by leading international experts in respected fields to provide a balanced coverage of fundamental issues in both remote sensing and urban studies. Emphasis is placed on: theoretical and practical issues in contemporary urban studies and remote sensing; the spectral, spatial and temporal requirements of remotely sensed data in relation to various urban phenomena; methods and techniques for analyzing and integrating remotely sensed data and image processing with geographic information systems to address urban problems; and examples of applications in which applying remote sensing to tackle urban problems is deemed useful and important.
By any measure, Hans Mark was a warrior of the Cold War. Born in Mannheim, Germany, in 1929, he spent his early childhood in Vienna before escaping the Nazi Anschluss in 1938 and eventually emigrating to the United States, settling in New York. He graduated from high school in 1947, went west to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and later earned a PhD in physics from MIT. His work in nuclear engineering soon set him on a path that would be shaped by aeronautics, space exploration, and national defense. It was through advanced technology that Mark believed the United States could win the Cold War. In An Anxious Peace, Mark recounts in detail his life as a twentieth-century “roc...

Alfred Jansa schildert sein Leben als Generalstabsoffizier bei österreichischen, deutschen und bulgarischen Armeekommanden im Ersten Weltkrieg und im Bundesheer der Republik Österreich, sowie als Militärdiplomat in Genf und Berlin, schließlich als militärischer Mitarbeiter (Chef des Generalstabes der Bewaffneten Macht) des österreichischen Bundeskanzlers Kurt Schuschnigg. Er war mit seiner Familie im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Erfurt interniert und brachte 1946 seine politisch und militärisch aufschlussreichen Erlebnisse mit österreichischen Staatsmännern zu Papier. Auch die Auseinandersetzung mit dem deutschen Generalfeldmarschall im Verlauf des Zweiten Weltkrieges Erich v. Manstein, der in seinen Memoiren einem nicht im Amt befindlichen österreichischen Chef des Generalstabes der Bewaffneten Macht im März 1938 Fahnenflucht vorwarf, wird dokumentiert und kommentiert.
