A Sustainability book launch will be held on Saturday 24 July, 9.30am, at All Saints Floreat Uniting Church.

Eyes in the Sky: Surveillance for Survival – The history and future possibilities of satellite remote sensing in the Western Australian Government.

The authors, Henry Houghton B App Sci and Richard Smith PhD, were given the opportunity from 1972 to 2006 to be the first two managers to introduce the radical new technology of Earth Observations from Space (EOS) into the WA Government. In the 50 years since EOS became available to Government, what lessons have subsequently been learnt?

The book includes forewords by Prof Peter Newman, CU and Prof Alexandra Ludwig, UWA. Discount copies will be available.

Symbolically the event is being held in a church for the purpose of religious discourse, because what really matters for future generations is sustainability of the management of our renewable resources.

RSVP to richard.c.g.smith@gmail.com with an expression of interest to attend and/or give a short presentation.
