Construction Surveying and Layout - A unique, practical, and complete book for the surveyor, field engineer, or student learning construction surveying and layout. This highly illustrated book contains over 1200 graphics of construction surveying field and office activities, calculations, and tables that are presented in a step-by- step easy to read format. The reader can see "how-to" perform many of the common measurement and calculation activities of field engineering and construction surveying. This book contains material not found in other surveying books. It is a must for training individuals just getting into construction surveying or as a reference for anyone on a construction site involved with measurement and layout. "Everyone who sees it, wants it."

Since the last edition of this international bestseller, GPS has grown to become part of a larger international context, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Both GPS and GNSS technologies are becoming ever more important in the everyday practice of survey and mappers. With GPS for Land Surveyors, Third Edition, a book written by a land surveyor, for land surveyors, you can stay in the know on the latest GPS techniques, technologies, codes, and signals. 
Whatâ€™s New to the Third Edition? 
<ul>
<li>Sections on Real-Time Network Services, Block IIF, and control segment modernization </li> <li>GPS code, such as the M-code, L1C, and L2C </li> <li>An entire chapter dedicated to GNSS </li> <li>Discussion of the Russian GLONASS system, the Chinese Beidou system, and the Japanese QZSS </li>
</ul>
From fundamental theory to practical application and advanced technologies, the book covers GPS without pages of complicated math. It demonstrates the basics of GPS technology, common hardware, surveying methods, survey design, planning, and observation. Additionally, each chapter includes helpful review questions and answers. GPS and GNSS are revolutionizing the practice of surveying and mapping. This user-friendly manual gives you the tools needed to understand and use these important technologies in everyday practice.

Geodetic Network Analysis and Optimal Design: Concepts and Applications presents a systematic discussion of up-to-date methods and concepts of network analysis and optimal design. Part I, Network Analysis, deals with the processing and analysis of collected data to guarantee accurate results. Part II, Network Optimal Design, deals with the development of an economic survey campaign that will satisfy project criteria prior to entering the field, while ensuring project success.  This useful reference covers the basic theory by providing simple examples to demonstrate basic concepts and procedures, and is loaded with how-to-techniques certain to make network design and analysis easy and reliable. The book covers both geodetic networks and networks established for deformation monitoring in a Step-by-Step format.  All practicing surveying professionals, engineers, researchers and surveying engineering students will find this book to be mandatory reading.

Scientists working on different aspects of improving turfgrass with biotechnology share their results and hopes for the near future. They look at molecular marker analysis, biological control including endophyte strategies, genes with potential and in vitro culture and genetic engineering. Among the 20 specific topics are the genetic characterization of open-pollinated cultivars, microbial mechanisms of biological disease, analyzing heat shock response in perennial ryegrass, embryo production in orchardgrass, and herbicide-resistant transgenic creeping bentgrass.

Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands presents the program of the first International Conference on the Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands. This collection reviews the extent of resource debasement and offers solutions for their restoration. The 14-part first section deals with mine management and rehabilitation. Topics include the devastating results of open-cut mining, open-pit mining, lignite surface mining and acid mining. Despite such ruin, the articles reveal the possibilities for reclamation. Part two devotes nine chapters to the management of derelict lands. Reforestation, soil fertility prognosis, and the uses of nitrogen are just a few of the covered subjects. This portion of the book pays special attention to the successful results of remediation in China and Hong Kong. The final division addresses soil contamination and reclamation. There are eleven chapters on subjects that include the single and interactive effects of aluminum, the effectiveness of EDTA/HCI and the value of pig-on-litter compost as a tool for edible crop growth. These and other innovative techniques make Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands a valuable addition to any environmental library.
