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.

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it!
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.
