First Edition
1st Edition. Hardbound 11.75 inches tall by 9.5 inches wide 717 pages. Appendices, index. Map endpapers. Description: Profusely illustrated, with some in color. From the preface: ''Anyone examining the color plates in the two books Mission to Earth and the companion volume ERTS-1: A New Window on Our Planet, would soon realize that many images are replete with geologic themes. In fact, two aspects of geology, both geomorphic in expression, dominate most such scenes: structural patterns associated with tectonic actions and water-, wave-, wind-, and ice-generated landforms. Although this is also true for many aerial photographs, the main advantage of space imagery over the larger scale and more detailed aerial views stems from the synoptic or broad-area coverage possible from orbiting sensors. This means that entire mountain systems, large stretches of rivers and their drainage basins, a whole coastal or inland delta, swarms of sand dunes, clusters of volcanoes, and groups of mountain glaciers as well as polar ice caps and ice sheets can be recorded in single images under uniform solar illumination that is nearly impossible in aerial photomosaics. From such synoptic views, the geomorphic character of a complex diverse terrain is easily studied from a regional perspective.'' Chapter headings: Introduction: regional landforms analysis. Tectonic landforms. Volcanic landforms. Fluvial landforms. Deltaic landforms. Coastal landforms. Karst landforms and lakes. Eolian landforms. Glaciers and glacial landforms. Planetary landforms. Geomorphological mapping. Global geomorphology: outlook for the future. BINDING/CONDITION: pictorial boards; owner's name stamp in three places: the front endpaper and top and bottom edges of the text block; the spine is faded; otherwise in Very Good condition.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Format is 9.5 inches by 11.75 inches. xx, 717, [3] pages. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (many in color). Footnotes. References. Appendix A. Appendix B. Index. Classic comprehensive text contains 237 detailed color and black & white photographic images taken by the multispectral scanner on Landsats I, II and III, and the thematic mapper on Landsats IV and V. Text is arranged by geomorphic theme: tectonic; volcanic; fluvial; delta; coastal; kast and lakes; eolian; glacial; planetary landforms. Nicholas Martin Short was a geologist who helped establish the fields of shock metamorphism and terrestrial meteorite impact crater studies, and who later made contributions to lunar sample investigations and the use of remote sensing in terrestrial geology. With his brand-new Ph.D. in sedimentation and geochemistry, he joined the AEC's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory's Plowshare Program, which was investigating the peaceful uses of atomic energy, and he became the only geoscientist in a large group of nuclear engineers and solid-state physicists who were busy making large explosions in the Nevada desert. Robert (Rob) William Blair, Jr. worked with Petro-Nuclear and the US Geological Survey in WY and CO. In 1975, he received his Ph.D. in geology from the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO. For 28 years he taught in the geology department at Fort Lewis College, Durango, CO. He has over 50 publications including 5 books, 22 peer reviewed papers. These include: "Geomorphology from Space-A Global Overview of Regional Landforms". Geomorphology from Space was designed for use by the remote sensing science and educational communities to study landforms and landscapes. The core of this book is a gallery of space imagery consisting of 237 plates, each treating a geographic region where a particular landform theme is exemplified. Commentary, photographs, locator maps, and sometimes a geologic map accompany each plate. Geomorphology from Space: A Global Overview of Regional Landforms, was published by NASA as a successor to the two earlier works on the same subject: Mission to Earth: LANDSAT views the Earth, and ERTS-1: A New Window on Our Planet. The purpose of the book is threefold: first, to serve as a stimulant in rekindling interest in descriptive geomorphology and landforms analysis at the regional scale; second, to introduce the community of geologists, geographers, and others who analyze the Earth's surficial forms to the practical value of space-acquired remotely sensed data in carrying out their research and applications; and third, to foster more scientific collaboration between geomorphologists who are studying the Earth's landforms and astrogeologists who analyze landforms on other planets and moons in the solar system, thereby strengthening the growing field of comparative planetology.
