{"product_id":"surveying-9780673997524","title":"Surveying","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe practice of modern surveying is undergoing rapid change due to the availability of electronically controlled instruments  the widespread adoption of the Global Positioning System (GPS)  and the proliferation of various geographic Land Information Systems (GIS\/LIS). Nevertheless  the principles underlying these new technologies remain constant. In the tenth edition of this benchmark text  Frank Moffitt and John Bossler strike the appropriate balance between teaching students the fundamental principles of surveying and bringing them up to date on the technological advances that are changing the field. The new edition of this classic work completely modernizes much of the notation  form  and substance of the original. By removing much of the dated information  the authors have been able to add entire new chapters on GPS and GIS. Throughout the text  emphasis is placed on NAD 83 over NAD 27 as the new datum is being utilized more frequently. Professors familiar with previous editions of this textbook will still recognize its clear  yet rigorous explanation of topics. No shortcuts are taken in the presentation of material from the time a concept is introduced through its exploration in worked examples. The books tradition of covering both plane and geodetic surveying has been preserved  which makes it the most comprehensive introductory text on surveying on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279801114677,"sku":"ByrdShop_0673997529","price":93.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780673997524.jpg?v=1780611049","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/surveying-9780673997524","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
