     The Aerial Photo Sourcebook is an illustrated reference for the
novice. It has a complete bibliography of over 800 books and articles for
those looking for more details on aerial photography. Collins provides the
most comprehensive listing available of federal government sources, state
and regional sources, and commercial sources and collections. All contact
information (names, offices, addresses, phone and fax) is included.

     The sourcebook begins with an overview of the field and with basic
instruction in photographic interpretation. The fundamentals section
explores the variety of aerial photography: color infrared, black and
white,
color, and explains the difference between oblique and vertical views.
Collins discusses formats, tools, and map skills in clear, non-technical
terms, and summarizes the traditional roles of aerial photography, as well
as the new customers that aerial photography will serve in the future. A
bibliography of more than 800 items from over 40 subject areas is included
at the end of the book, consisting primarily of English or
English-translated works related to aerial photography in the United
States,
augmented by a few international perspectives. The bibliography lists
information and research in aerial photography in the fields of
agriculture,
balloon and kite photography, computers, economics, education, forestry,
geography, geology, history, intelligence, mapping and cartography, aerial
photo interpretation, remote sensing, transportation, soil studies, urban
problems, wetlands, and more. The Aerial Photo Sourcebook offers numerous
ideas for using aerial photography to solve a wide range of problems, to
enhance presentations, and to facilitate research.

and satellite imagery as a Central Intelligence Agency analyst and training
officer. In 1992 she started her own consulting business to serve those
