Customer Reviews

A very useful book
The book relates well to many surveying courses and covers a lot of material requried by RICS Geomatics Membership. It is well divided up in to clear sections for easy reference. The diagrams are fairly useful although can be a bit simple at time. Generally, recommended reading.

Surveying for engineers
An excellent book striking a superb balance between the theoretical and the practical. Recommended to students and practitioners alike.
