Abstract


Google Earth's reach extends from the layman who pins his home to the Earth, to the professional scientific journals asking for KML files of study areas. A revolution to the power of ten would have been witnessed by mankind if Google Earth was available during the era of Alexander the Great or Charles Darwin. The popularity and utilization achieved by Google Earth since inception into the cyber world in 2004 is simply marvellous. This all embracing coverage of Google Earth, which has elevated the status of maps and images from esoteric collections housed in dusty libraries to cutting edge technology is brought out well in this book.
