4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent companion for the California PE - Principles of Surveying
I had used the standard study materials, and due to various reviews by others who had taken the test, decided to supplement my review by studying the topics covered in more detail with this reference, having not taken a surveying course in my undergraduate studies.The material is clear and concise (for a novice like myself), and aided my preparation greatly.

5-0 out of 5 stars very nice
the sender sent the book in a timely manner and the book is in great condition

2-0 out of 5 stars Not for Beginners
I have been a Civil engineering Instructor for the past five years and have used this text also.The text is quite handy for the intermediate to advanced level of Civil Engineeering students.This text should not beused for the beginner due to it's higher level of content.If this is tobe used for the introductory level, the instructor should have a copy onlyand use it a guide.More students in the introductory phase wash out afterreading a few chapters.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good reference
I've been teaching from this book for five years, so I'm obviously prepared to endorse it.I have required it for both civil engineering technology and civil engineering science students, although it is mostuseful to the former.

Several competing texts in surveying are in theirninth (or greater) editions.Ordinarily in academia, this is a testamentto the staying power of the author's work.The surveying profession,however, still relies upon texts that have long out-lived their originalauthors, who have since retired or passed away (e.g., Bouchard, Brinker,Brown).

In the area of boundary control and legal principles, theseminal ideas of Brown are still the standard.In measurement techniques,however, much has changed.Tape corrections, for the typical civilengineer, have been relegated to an obscure niche in surveying trivia.GPSand GIS should be separate and substantial chapters in a good generalsurveying reference.Current general tomes, however, are far from thecutting edge.

Kavanagh and Bird have provided in their fourth edition adescription of GPS that amounts to 12 pages.GIS is afforded even lessspace.The text remains a good practical reference for civil engineers ontraditional topics, without digressing into treatment of esoteric subjects,but as GPS continues to make inroads to the mainstream of measurementtechnique, and GIS becomes the standard by which surveying models will beconstructed, the demand for a fifth edition that gives these topicsexpanded treatment will increase. ...

Textbooksnow did not send me the books I ordered. I was told that I would receive them within a certain time frame and they were not sent to me within that time frame or ever for that matter. I emailed them to find out where they were, they told me to track my order through amazon or another site that they suggested but I was unable to do so. It seemed as if they just never even sent them. I emailed them several times because I needed the books for class and I never received them.

The book is as advertised.It has a very large variety of solved surveying problems.The problems and their solutions are very thorough and clear.It's a well done book.The biggest downside is there is no index or listing of the types of problems in the book.If you are using this as a reference dring a surveying or professional engineers exam you will have a hard time finding the example problem you are looking for unless you have spent a great deal of time getting familiar with the book or developed your own listing of the problems.It was very helpful in preparing for the 2.5 hour California surveying exam, it was useless during the exam.

Product Description
REVISED AND IN PAPERBACK
Practical Surveying and Computations is long established as a major land surveying textbook: the first edition was published as Practical Field Surveying and Computations (A L Allan, J R Hollwey and J H B Maynes).

The book has been completely rewritten revised to take account of the profound changes in surveying methods and applications due to electronic instrumentation and computerized data processing systems.These new developments give today's surveyor unprecedented freedom in the numerical handling of data.As a result, the emphasis is shifted from the need for detailed understanding of instrument function to the avoidance of blunders at the data-gathering stage and the ability to appraise computer output in the light of fundamental principles: that is, a quality control system.The explanations and examples in this new edition equip readers to select those procedures and techniques that are most reliable, accurate, cost effective and appropriate to the problem tackled.

3-0 out of 5 stars Clear illustrations, but many mistakes throughout the book
I was required to purchase this text for my beginning Plane Surveying class.As my title indicates, there are good points and bad points to this book. There are many misprints and outright mistakes printed throughout the book, but the teachers liked it because it does provide some simple illustrations to help the beginning student in understanding basic concepts of land surveying.Our school has since switched to a different text.

3-0 out of 5 stars Dry but informative
This book has all the information you will need, but in a poorly laid out and difficult to read format

1-0 out of 5 stars Maybe the 6th edition will be better.
It is amazing to believe that this is a fifth edition book.The subjects chosen are potentially good choices but the author slices and dices the text to the point of confusion.In order to make a smaller, more manageable book, he has excised discussions which would help in explaining many of these advanced topics.I would like to say he was creating a "Surveying for Dummies" book but that would discredit the concise and well-written texts of this nature and give him too much credit.At close to $100 for a flimsy, ill-written, badly or never edited text, I would be ashamed to put my name on the cover no less be the printing house associated with this book.If you are an instructor looking for a book, run quickly away from this title; you'd be better off sending your students out onto the internet for information that would be more legible and definitely much cheaper.

This is an excellent and relevant book. It is well structured, and the examples are very much practice oriented. However, when I tried to install the included software under Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Prof I failed. Only under Windows 95 it runs!

I would appreciate any helpful comment!

Starts off with some basic principles before going in to more developed mathematical and stochastic models and even includes topics include in the use of constraint equations and blunder detection.
