REMOTE SENSING OF LAND USE AND LAND COVER PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS
Chandra P. Giri
Land cover of the earth’s land surface has been changing since time immemorial and is likely to continue to change in the future (Ramankutty and Foley, 1998). These changes are occurring at a range of spatial scales from local to global and at temporal frequencies of days to millennia (Townshend et al., 1991). Both natural and anthropogenic forces are responsible for the change. Natural forces such as continental drift, glaciation, flooding, and tsunamis and anthropogenic forces such as conversion of forest to agriculture, urban sprawl, and forest plantations have changed the dynamics of land-use/land-cover types throughout the world.

I love money. I love everything about it. I bought some pretty good stuff. Got me a $300 pair of socks. Got a fur sink. An electric dog polisher. A gasoline powered turtleneck sweater. And, of course, I bought some dumb stuff, too.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
Get busy living or get busy dying.
My formula for success is rise early, work late and strike oil.
If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.
You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.
Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.
