Elementary Surveying

Simply the best surveying text. The best feature is the way it introduces the basic concepts of a topic followed by a section of advanced concepts concerning the topic. This makes the book an essential reference for both students and practioners. This book is highly recommended.

An outstanding text

In my opinion this work is simply the best introductory surveying textbook available, and I've seen more than a few.

surveying : The foundations of surveying explained.

Surveying is the foundation of all of civilisations. The world would not be the same without the methods of surveying used by proffessionals. This book was an essential refference during my study at university and is still used in my professional carrer. From the first page you will be learning varrious ellements of surveying. The explination of fundumental elements of surveying methods and the changes to surveying caused by technology are explained at the start to give a foundation from which to work from. The different types of surveying is explained in good detail covering the concepts of bearings, angle measurement and lots of others. The covering of work related area's and problems are discussed and covered. This includes curves and roads, mapping and photogrammetry along with sections relating to area and volume determination.There is numerous pictures, illustrations and diagrams used to show the equipment and show the concepts covered. If I was starting my education in surveying or wishing to have a good refference then this should be reccomended as a text worth holding in your library.
