Surveying with Construction Applications (4th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: BOOK IS NOT AS INFORMATIVE AS ONE WOULD HOPE.
Review: As an instructor, I found the problems associated with the LandSurveying field to be dated and calculations to be incorrect at times.It would help to have an answer key in order to figure out if your questions that the author wrote, can actually come up with the correct answers. I have been requesting an "Answer Key" for 2 years and yet to be able to receive one. I work for USD 501 and Teach Land Surveying. END

Summary: A mile wide and an inch deep
Review: I teach a college level surveying class. This book attempts to cover too much data without going into adequate detail. For an introductory class, it covers the basics too fast. For an advanced class, it does not deal adequately with the specifics. As an instructor, the book offers no support such as answer keys or internet support. I recommend Brinker & Wolf for intro classes and Constructions Surveying and Layout by Crawford for construction surveying classes.
