"I consider this book to be a valuable asset to the layout and surveying courses that I teach. The illustrations are great, and the author explains the procedures in a way that is very understandable and practical." ― Carl Hillyard, Pennsylvania College of Technology
From the Back Cover
This practical text presents a clear discussion of surveying principles and applications for mapping and engineering surveys. It has been extensively revised from the fifth edition and is now divided into three parts: Part 1 covers the basics of surveying principles; Part 2 introduces students to the latest in imaging techniques; and Part 3 covers practical approaches for applications in the engineering, hydrographic, and land surveying fields. The strength of this text is its real-world application, reflecting the author's many years of academic field experience.
Some of the key features include:
- Numerous illustrations and examples to clarify and reinforce chapter topics
- Updated isogonic charts
- A new chapter on Geographic Information Systems
- On-line and interactive techniques for computing grid/geographic coordinates, illustrated using NGS Tools
- Introduction to the latest imaging techniques using multi-spectral scanning and LIDAR mapping
- Expanded appendices with new glossary entries and a surveying and mapping website index
