Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Field Astronomy If the reason be demanded for the appearance of another book on Field Astronomy when there are already published several excellent works on the subject, it may be stated as follows: That although any one of them may serve very well as a text for a comparatively extended study, the author has been unable to find one sufficiently concise to fit the short time usually allowed for the work in a civil engineering course which would still provide enough of the fundamentals of the subject to enable the reader to make, intelligently, the observations and accompanying computations required in the practice of general engineering and surveying. Something is needed more complete than the usual chapter in books on surveying and less extensive than most texts on field astronomy. This need, which is acknowledged by other teachers to exist, it is hoped to fill; and at the same time it has been attempted to provide a book which will be of service to engineers and surveyors whose practice requires that they occasionally make astronomical observations. To this end the discussion of fundamentals has been made brief, but it is thought sufficiently thorough for the purpose. Special attention has been given to the matter of measurement of time, because it is believed that this causes more difficulty for students in general than any other part of the subject. In the selection of the methods described for the determination of latitude, azimuth, time, and longitude, care has been taken to choose those which are believed to be most capable of producing results when used with field instruments under ordinary field conditions. Realizing that the determination of azimuth is more frequently required than any other observation, more methods have been given for this than for the other problems. Each observation has been presented essentially as follows: The work of which the observation consists is first stated briefly, followed by the relations and theory on which it depends, accompanied by such explanation as seems necessary.

Book Description
This Book Presents A Systematic And Contemporary Treatment Of The Theory And Applications Involved In Higher Surveying. It Also Highlights Some Of The Modern Developments In Geomatics.After Explaining The Basic Survey Operations, Triangulation And Trilateration, The Book Describes The Various Adjustment Methods Applied To Survey Measurement In Detail, Which Is Followed By Topographic, Hydrographic, Construction, And Route Surveying. As Engineers And Surveyors Need Knowledge Of Determining Absolute Coordinates Of Points And Directions Of Lines On The Earth'S Surface, A Detailed Discussion On Field Astronomy Is Presented In This Book. A Chapter On Map Projection Is Also Included In The Book.Recent Advances In Land Surveying Are Then Highlighted Including Photogrammetry And Photographic Interpretation. Remote-Sensing Technique Utilizing Data Acquired Through Satellites Is Also Explained.Recent Instrumentation Techniques And Methodologies Being Used In Geomatics Are Emphasized. These Cover A Range Of Modern Instruments Including Edm, Total Station, Laser-Based Instruments, Electronic Field Book, Gps, Automated Photogrammetric Systems, And Geographic Information System.A Large Number Of Worked-Out Examples, Illustrations, And Photographs Are Included For An Easy Grasp Of The Concepts.The Book Would Serve As An Excellent Text For Civil Engineering Students. Amie Candidates, And Surveyours. Practicing Engineers Would Also Find It Extremely Useful In Their Profession.
