A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

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
