Applications of remote sensing and GIS for crop condition assessment/R. Krishnan and M.R. Srinivasan. . The contents of the book are of a high quality and flow very smoothly from the characterization of biophysical resources and land use systems to the farming systems level and finally culminate at the catchment/watershed level. The modelling studies are included to update the current trends, while vulnerability studies provide complete set of information with respect to future action plan. The authors of the various chapters have also displayed high skills in development of customized GIS tools of learning and knowledge sharing. This book would stand out as an example of knowledge sharing efforts in the area of geo-informatics and the use of GIS technologies for their effective and efficient management of natural resources.
