This section is intended primarily for rapid dissemination of new published books with tutorial (and) or scientific value within the field of signal processing. Here are listed the areas of interest that are well suited for Signal Processing: Signal Theory, Detection, Estimation, Information Theory, Spectral Analysis, Filtering and Filters, Adaptive Processing, Coding, Mathematical Tools in Signal Processing, Signal Processing in Antennas, Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, Signal Processing Applications in Remote Sensing, Signal Processing in Acoustics, in Geophysics, in Astronomy, in Automatic Control, in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, in Telecommunication, in Instrumentation, in Economics and Management, Radar, Sonar, Speech Processing, Biomedical Signal Processing, Optical Signal Processing, Digital Techniques in Signal Processing, Multi-dimensional Signal Processing, Signal Processor Architecture, Storage and Display, Signal Processing Technology, Signal Processing Software, Cultural Aspects of Signal Processing, Signal Processing Terminology. The books are then reviewed by experts in the field. Their comments will be presented in Signal Processing showing the timeliness and importance of the proposed result, their clarity and eventually their tutorial value. New books, which are intended to be presented, should be submitted to Riccardo LEONARDI, Book Review Editor, Signal Processing Laboratory, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, 16 Chemin de Bellerive, CH-1007 Lausanne, Switzerland.

Contents: Preface List of Tables Introduction Chapter 1: SENSORS 1.1 Radar 1.2 Coastal Zone Colour Scanner 1.3 Thematic Mapper 1.4 Return Beam Vidicon 1.5 Future Sensors Chapter 2: PROCESSING AND ANALYSIS
This volume contains the Proceedings of the Eighth Colloquium on Microwave Communication, organized by the Scientific Society for Telecommunication and the Research Institute for Telecommunication, and sponsored by URSI (International Union of Radio Science) and by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The development of microwave communication is still characterized by rapid progress in many of its branches. The transmission of digital data, longdistance communication via satellites, the application of computers in communication systems and design, and the use of microwave integrated circuits are posing new demands on research and development activities. This wide range of topics is covered here by authors representing 28 countries.
