About this title

From the Publisher:

This streamlined, fully updated Third Edition maintains the same accessible, applications-driven approach as its predecessors--beginning with a firm foundation in the principles of surveying, then supporting this foundation with real-world construction applications. While Kavanagh does reflect the latest developments in techniques and instrumentation, coverage also includes in-depth discussions of more traditional topics.

From the Back Cover:

Some of the key features of this new edition include:

• In more challenging areas such as bearing/azimuth computations, there are numerous examples showing a modest and appropriate level of math in a clear and direct style.
• Expanded coverage of the new digital electronic instrumentation and its application in areas such as Geographic Positioning Systems (GPS).
• Civil engineering and technology applications are offered in such areas as highway construction design and municipal construction.
