Contents Preface 1 An Introduction to Remote Sensing 2 Sensors and Instruments 3 Satellite Systems 4 Data Reception Archiving and Distribution 5 Lasers and Active Aircraft Remote Sensing Systems 6 Ground Wave and Sky Wave Radar Techniques 7 Active Microwave Instruments IndexRemote sensing may be taken to mean the observation of or gathering information about a target by a device separated from it by some distance The expression remote sensing was coined by geographers at the US Office of Naval Research in the 1960s at about the time that the use of spy satellites was beginning to move out of the military sphere and into the civilian sphere Remote sensing is often regarded as being synonymous with the use of artificial satellites and in this regard one may call to mind glossy calendars and coffee-table books of LANDSAT images of various parts of the Earth of the satellite images that are frequently shown on television weather forecasts Satellites do play an important role in remote sensing but it should be appreciated that remote sensing activity not only precedes the expression but dates from long before the launch of the first artificial satellite There are a number of ways of gathering remotely sensed data which do not involve satellites and which indeed have been in use for very much longer than satellites For example virtually all of astronomy can be regarded as being built upon the basis of remote sensing data However this book is concerned with terrestrial remote sensing Jacket 122 pp.

The protagonist's engagement with society. 6. Formal strategies. 7. Summing up. Index. "A unique historian of modern sensibility falling into post-modernism, of the self losing its way into the labyrinth of corruption, reduction, sensuality and sexuality, reality constructions and ideologies, of the striving of the soul to reach out to God and his creation, of the inroads of anti-humanism into humanism, Saul Bellow (1915-2005), a thinker and writer, is a phenomenon of the twentieth century. The author of several classical novels, novellas, short stories, plays, essays and other works, he is fully aware of the contradictions of the sublime and the ridiculous, euphoric and the somber, lofty and the trivial, imaginatively sweeping and narratively engrossing, metaphorical and symbolical coexisting with the minutiae of life. However, he is not split up but he endeavours to reconcile and resolve the contraries and contradictions, the verities and paradoxes, the complications, and implications. The present work underscores all these aspects of the great Nobel Laureate and offers much more in the study of his novels and novellas while focalizing the novelist's exploration of the true nature of the self and its belonging in society. The writer also offers valuable insights into other aspects of this all time great writer and asserts the claims of the book on the attention of the academics, researchers and scholars." (jacket).

Sarvodaya and constructive programme. Conclusion. Index. The concept of Sarvodaya was conceived by Mahatma Gandhi while he came across the monumental book Unto this Last. Gandhi found in it a composite concept of social welfare and economic justice. But he could not activise the concept owing to his preoccupation in the liberation movement of India. He died with the concept of Sarvodaya very much in his mind. Later on Vinoba recued and activised the concept of Bhoodan Gramdan and Sarvodaya is to extent social political and economic justice to each individual of the society through de centralization of power and de centralization of economic. Sarvodaya upholds the ideal of collectivity ownership which is the root cause of discrimination deprivation and exploitation. The political objective of Sarvodaya is De centralized Democratic Socialism through Non Violence and Peaceful Means. When the communist sectors of the world is passing through dis integration with violence reaching the point of saturation and while capitalist countries of the world are facing economic collapse it is relevant for Sarvodaya to seek entry in to the socio political and economic dimensions of the world. Thoughts of Sarvodaya expounded by Mahatma Gandhi Vinobaji Dada Dharmadhikari and Jay Prakash Narayan can not only save the world from political inconsistency and economic injustice but can also contribute to the qualities of human beings based on human values. 456 pp.
