Customer Reviews

The book with the heart of a teacher!

I recently purchased this book which I am impressed with, & Evidence & Procedures for Boundary Location 5th Edition which I could hardly understand what I was reading most of the time (Written as a lawyer would speak). I have not finished this book, but understand what I am reading. The same three authors have had input on both books, but Brown's Boundary Control has been worded in a way that a teacher would say things in order for all of his students to understand. I am impressed with the ability of the authors to explain this vast subject of boundary location & law, & would recommend this book to anyone.

beyond the books

This publication covers a preponderance of topics to provide objectivity to what can be a highly subjective matter. Concepts and principles are delineated in meaningful ways and the applications are expounded upon. A must for all persons involved with land management, use, development, and preservation.

The Surveyor's Bible

While preparing for my licensing exam, I read this book from cover to cover. It addresses every principle of retracement (sequential and simultaneous conveyances), public lands, and riparian issues thoroughly. The highlighted "principle" at the heading of each new topic makes remembering the main points simple. I can honestly say that every question on the NCEES exam that dealt with general principles and practice was answered in this book. I passed on my first sitting, and this book was one of the main reasons why. If you can only study one reference, this is it. Every practicing surveyor should also refer to it regularly.

Boundary Control and Legal Principals

This is the definitive work on boundary control. Technicians preparing for the SIT and PLS tests should own this book.
