Plane andGeodeticSurveyingSecond EditionAylmer JohnsonUniversity of Cambridge, UK

This book blends theory andpractice, conventional tech-niques, and satellite-basedmethods. It gives detailedguidance on how and when the principal surveyinginstruments (total stations, levels, and navigationalsatellite receivers) should be used. It fully and clearlyexplains the concepts and formulae needed to con-vert instrument readings into useful and reliableresults. It provides rigorous explanations of the theo-retical background to surveying, as well as a wealth ofuseful advice about conducting a survey in practice.An accompanying least-squares adjustment programis available for download.

• Details full derivation of all the main equationsused in geodetic surveying

• Adds clear diagrams to show the geometry ofgeodetic surveying

• Contains lifelong knowledge, which will outlastthe current technology used in surveying

• Offers information written in line with leading-edge technology
