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.

It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read.
Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.
Keep reading books, but remember that a book is only a book, and you should learn to think for yourself.
A book is a device to ignite the imagination.
The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That's approaching evil.
Great books help you understand, and they help you feel understood.
Screw it, Let’s do it!
