By: Moffitt, Francis HContributor(s): Bossler, John DMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: Menlo Park, Calif. : Addison-Wesley, c1998. Edition: 10th edISBN: 0673997529Subject(s): SurveyingDDC classification: 526.9 LOC classification: TA545
Contents:
Ch. 1. Introduction -- Ch. 2. Measurement of Horizontal Distances -- Ch. 3. Leveling -- Ch. 4. The Measurement of Angles -- Ch. 5. Random Errors -- Ch. 6. Field Operations with the Transit or Theodolite -- Ch. 7. Direction of a Line -- Ch. 8. Traverse Surveys and Computations -- Ch. 9. Horizontal Control Networks -- Ch. 10. The Global Positioning System -- Ch. 11. State Plane Coordinate and Universal Transverse Mercator Systems -- Ch. 12. Practical Astronomy -- Ch. 13. Horizontal and Vertical Curves -- Ch. 14. Tacheometry -- Ch. 15. Topographic Surveys -- Ch. 16. Photogrammetry -- Ch. 17. Earthwork -- Ch. 18. United States Public Land Surveys -- Ch. 19. Municipal and Subdivision Surveys -- Ch. 20. Geographic Information Systems -- App. A. Adjustment of Elementary Surveying Measurements by the Method of Least Squares -- App. B. The Adjustment of Instruments -- App. C. Tables.
Summary: The practice of modern surveying is undergoing rapid change due to the availability of electronically controlled instruments, the widespread adoption of the Global Positioning System (GPS), and the proliferation of various Geographic and Land Information Systems (GIS/LIS). Nevertheless, the principles underlying these new technologies remain constant. In the tenth edition of this benchmark text, Frank Moffitt and John Bossler strike the appropriate balance between teaching students the fundamental principles of surveying and bringing them up to date on the technological advances that are changing the field. The tenth edition of this classic work completely modernizes much of the notation, form, and substance of the original.
