Dover reprint of Theory of Satellite Geodesy by W.M. Kaula
A Classic in the Field The book begins with a concise description of the earth's gravity field in terms of potential theory.After a quick refresher on matrices and orbital elements, Kaula proceeds to describe the motion of an artificial satellite.In particular, he provides a detailed analysis of gravity field perturbations upon the evolution of the orbital elements including secular effects and resonance effects.The final chapters are concerned with modeling observations used to track satellites, using the observations to estimate the true motion of the satellite, and estimating geodetic information from the motion of the satellite. Although first published in 1966, this book remains one of the best volumes available on satellite theory and geodesy.It is still used as a reference and textbook by many if not most experts in the field.However, the work is certainly not perfect.Kaula gives a concise and complete coverage of the subject, but it comes at the cost of loads of equations with little explanatory text.This can make it somewhat difficult to follow.It is certainly not written as a popular guide for the general public.Nevertheless, many astrodynamicists are delighted to have this volume available from the good folks at Dover. ...

this is a very overpriced general introduction book..
Good but needs works
Good background for people interested in GIS and cartography This subject by its nature requires a mathematical treatment, so although the book does not go deeply into the math, it's sometimes heavy reading.Many of the illustrations deserve careful study, too.It's not light bedtime reading.I carried this book around for several days during and after a large GIS conference and periodically dipped into it.It works well in small doses.
Only partly successful in illuminating a tough subject. I found the lack of a glossary frustrating,as was Mr. Smith's habit of using concepts chapters ahead of theirdefintion. The difficult subject matter was further obscured by numerouserrors in the figures and text (such as refering to velocity as the secondintegral of acceleration.) In the end, the book did give me a goodqualitative feel for the issues germane to geodesy, but I had to work veryhard to extract that information and found myself immediately looking for amore perspicuous text.

Editorial Review Product Description The book has evolved through the author's 25 years of advising and writing on geodetic methods in which the aspect of learning by doing is stressed, including analyses of quality. Consequently, it covers practical aspects of geometrical geodesy and particulars of fundamental constants, horizontal and vertical datums, geoids, bi-axial ellipsoids and reference systems, units of frequencies and time, conformal projections, similarity transformations and spatial developments in electronic and acoustic positioning frames. The impact of information, communication and parallel computer technology with an ability to store and retrieve huge amounts of data is discussed up to the point where the compilation of relevant data is completely automated using comprehensive analyses on a worldwide distribution network. All Fortran computer subroutines described in the book can also be found on the enclosed CD-ROM, including compiled ready-to-run Fortran programs. A computer of modest capacity can cope with the algorithms. |
