Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the history, analysis, and implications of a geodetic investigation that began in the early 20th century. Data from this investigation was drawn from thousands of observations made across the United States, with the purpose of determining the size and shape of the Earth with greater accuracy. The author, an inspector for the Geodetic Survey, led the project for over five years, working alongside numerous scientists and mathematicians on triangulations and other measurements. The book contextualizes this study within the scientific thought of the time, and within the broader history of geodesy. The methods developed during this investigation have served as the foundation for the study of the Earth's dimensions, the measurement of Earth's gravitational field, and other important advances in geodesy. This book will be of interest to students of geodesy, the history of science, and anyone curious about the history of the project that redefined our planet's dimensions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
