The Only Living Boy in New York by Kate Beckinsale

DISCOVER CUTING EDGE THEORY AND APLICATIONS OF MODERN REMOTE SENSING IN GEOLOGY, OCEANOGRAPHY, ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE, IONOSPHERIC STUDIES, AND MORE

The thoroughly revised third edition of the Introduction to the Physics and Techniques of Remote Sensing delivers a comprehensive update to the authoritative textbook, offering readers new sections on radar interferometry, radar stereo, and planetary radar. It explores new techniques in imaging spectroscopy and large optics used in Earth orbiting, planetary, and astrophysics missions. It also describes remote sensing instruments on, as well as data acquired with, the most recent Earth and space missions.

Readers will benefit from the brand new and up-to-date concept examples and full-color photography, 50% of which is new to the series. You'll learn about the basic physics of wave/matter interactions, techniques of remote sensing across the electromagnetic spectrum (from ultraviolet to microwave), and the concepts behind the remote sensing techniques used today and those planned for the future.

The book also discusses the applications of remote sensing for a wide variety of earth and planetary atmosphere and surface sciences, like geology, oceanography, resource observation, atmospheric sciences, and ionospheric studies. This new edition also incorporates:

• A fulsome introduction to the nature and properties of electromagnetic waves
• An exploration of sensing solid surfaces in the visible and near infrared spectrums, as well as thermal infrared, microwave, and radio frequencies
• A treatment of ocean surface sensing, including ocean surface imaging and the mapping of ocean topography
• A discussion of the basic principles of atmospheric sensing and radiative transfer, including the radiative transfer equation

Perfect for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the field of remote sensing instrument development, data analysis, and data utilization, Introduction to the Physics and Techniques of Remote Sensing will also earn a place in the libraries of students, faculty, researchers, engineers, and practitioners in fields like aerospace, electrical engineering, and astronomy.

Jeff Bridges, a seven-time Academy Award nominee and one of Hollywood's most popular performers, won his first Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his role as Bad Blake, a down-on-his-luck, alcoholic country music singer, in Crazy Heart. He has received seven Oscar nominations since his first in 1971 for The Last Picture Show, the most recent being for Hell or High Water (2016). He has appeared in over 65 films over the course of his nearly 50-year career, including Seabiscuit, The Big Lebowski, True Grit, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Starman, and, most recently, Bad Times at the El Royale. He has also produced films and television movies through his firm, ASIS Productions, including the documentary Living in the Future's Pasts, as well as The Giver, American Heart, The Only Living Boy in New York, and Hidden in America. Two of his loves are photography and music.

Bridges' pictures have appeared in magazines such as Premiere and Aperture, as well as gallery shows in New York (at the George Eastman House), Los Angeles, London, Italy, and San Diego's Museum of Photographic Arts. Jeff was honored by the International Center of Photography with the Infinity Award in 2013. Jeff released Sleeping Tapes, a spoken word/ambient album, in February 2015. Keefus Ciancia, a musician who also provided the music, co-produced the project.

Squarespace, a web hosting company, released the album as part of its Super Bowl promotional campaign, with all proceeds going to charity.
