A must have for the NCEES Land Surveyor Exam
Don't take your PLS exam without it! Knowing the precise definition of a term can help you nail down the appropriate answer, or at least make an educated guess between the best two. This book is also handy for technical writing and bid preparation. Sometimes the prospective client spices up their RFP with words you don't use everyday - don't look like you're unqualified by having to call them and ask what a word means UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. I bought the book for my exam, but it has been a handy reference since I received my license. ... Read more |

10. Surveying Fiberglass Sailboats: A Step-by-Step Guide for Buyers and Owners by Henry Mustin | |

list price: US$17.95 -- used & new: US$12.21 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0070442487 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Mustin's part-by-part look at hull, deck, rig, and machinery is both a minicourse for transforming used-boat shopping from a game of craps to a science, and the first step in a holistic boat maintenance program. His discussion of the significance of cracks found in aging hulls and decks is the most thorough in print. He is not shy in assessing the lack of regulation of professional surveyors, nor does he shrink from pointing a finger at shoddy building practices. Having a used boat surveyed is a critical prelude to buying it. Yet a professional survey is expensive--several hundred dollars. Surveying Fiberglass Sailboats will enable you to conduct your own surveys while narrowing the field, then monitor a professional surveyor's performance when selecting your target boat.

Good info though not always practical, kinda scary
Must have Book for those looking to buy a boat This book does a great job explaining how glass is laid up, thedifferent types of glass, mat, roving, etc, and where they should be used. Common problems found in fiberglass boats such as blistering are discussedwith lots of surprising information. I've found that my personalexperiences confirmed many of the points made by the author.Like the myththat fresh water boats are better than salt water.Contrasted with freshwater boats are more likely to have blister problems than saltwater. Today, many people come to me with questions about boats.As I writethis review, I realize that many of the answers I give out come out ofinformation I found in this book. I don't believe you have to have asurvey on a boat to make an intelligent purchase decision.In part,because some of the surveyors are only interested in your money, and do notlook boats over thoroughly.A properly educated individual can do most orall of his, or her, own survey. Some surveyors are very good, and someare very bad.How can you tell if someone is good or not? To become asurveyor some certifying organizations only require a couple of samplecopies of surveys done and that you have a few books on your bookshelf. What a joke! I personally know of a real case, which happened in 1999,where an old survey was pulled up, the date changed and it was reusedwithout any a new survey being actually done.This is a good reason tochoose your own surveyor and not the one recommended by the seller. Going aloft and checking the rigging on a boat is not easy.Is it notsurprising that important steps like these get skipped. Some surveyor'shaven't read this book--so how good can they be? Contrast this withsomeone who has taken a 8 week course on surveying, holds a USCG license,and grew up on boats.This is the kind of person you want for asurveyor. It is up to you to be knowledgeable enough to make your owndecisions-including choosing a surveyor if you feel you need one.Thisbook will help you do that. Educate yourself.Being able to look a boatover to evaluate it for purchase is an important skill.This book is agood starting point.It is cheap insurance and worth the price.
Do it yourself or learning the ropes I didn't alwaysunderstand the why behind some analyses, but the average person can easilyuse the book to a) perform a basic survey on an inexpensive boat, or b)winnow the acceptable from the unaccptable before paying a professional tocomplete a thorough survey.
I feel prepared

12. Surveying Natural Populations: Quantitative Tools for Assessing Biodiversity by Lee-Ann C. Hayek, Martin A. Buzas | |

Editorial Review Product Description Surveying Natural Populations is a user-friendly primer to the essential methodologies of quantitative field ecology or paleoecology. Combining the intuitive methods of the field researcher with the mathematical precision of the statistician, the volume determines, through real biodiversity and ecological examples, the necessary measures for a complete community assessment while clarifying the confusions between biological and statistical terminology. Focusing on underlying mathematical concepts, it describes how to complete incrementally a quantitative sampling of any recent or fossil population. The first half ofSurveying Natural Populations explains the fundamentals of ecological assessment. Employing a single data set throughout, initial chapters navigate such topics as estimating densities, relative abundance, occurrences, the determination of adequate sample sizes and field sampling schemes. The second half covers the newest advances in biodiversity measurement. Through the use of information mathematics and decomposition, the authors mathematically examine the relationship among a number of proposed diversity indices and discard inappropriate measures. What remains is a simple, all-encompassing system called SHE analysis, in which species density, richness, information, and evenness are all shown to be related explicitly. This biodiversity data is then integrated into a simple graphic, a plot called a biodiversitygram, which provides the researcher with a cohesive descriptive and inferential tool to assess any community's biodiversity.

No shortcuts are taken in the presentation of material from the time a concept is introduced through its exploration in worked examples. The book's tradition of covering both plane and geodetic surveying has been preserved, which makes it the most comprehensive introductory text on surveying in the market. |
