Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book offers a practical guide for land surveyors, navigating the complex world of astronomical and geodetic calculations. Written for those engaged in surveying and mapping the vast Canadian landscape, it provides an accessible entry point to the scientific principles behind accurate land measurement. The author presents solutions to essential problems commonly encountered in surveying, including time calculations, latitude determination, and azimuth finding. He introduces various methods for determining time using celestial observations of the sun and stars, and outlines precise techniques for calculating latitude through meridian observations. The book also delves into azimuth determination, exploring methods like the use of Polaris, the pole star, and its elongation. The book highlights the critical role of astronomical observations in surveying, emphasizing their importance in establishing precise coordinates and creating accurate maps. The author's use of simple, yet effective formulae allows surveyors to apply these concepts in their daily practice. The book's insights into the convergence of meridians and its impact on surveying contribute valuable knowledge to the field, providing practical solutions for a range of surveying challenges. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
