Elementary Surveying: An Introduction to Geomatics, 10th Edition Review
The book looked old but works fine for me. Ofcourse what should i expect for a used book which i bought just for 2$. But overall i am very satisfied :) Thankyou !!!!
Elementary Surveying: An Introduction to Geomatics, 10th Edition Overview
*This book has been written primarily for freshman and sophomore students at the college level. The authors have concentrated on preparing a readable text that presents basic concepts and practical material. Each of the fundamental areas of modern surveying (geomatics) are discussed. Although the book is elementary, its depth and breadth make it suitable for self study, and for use as a reference by those engaged in the practice of surveying and its related disciplines such as civil engineering, forestry, geography, geology, landscape architecture, and others. *This 10th edition has been completely revised and updated, and includes the newest developments in both field and office procedures in surveying. Many additions and changes have made this the most up-to-date textbook available in surveying. *As with past editions, this text continues to emphasize the presence of errors in surveying, and practical suggestions resulting form the authors' many years of experience are interjected throughout the book.

Not very helpful - J. Ramirez - Spring,TX
This textbook still has errors in it even though I have the 11th edition, I checked against a copy of the 12th. If they are just going to keep errors in there why put out a newer edition? A person could just stay with an older one. I guess its just a way for publishers to make some money at the expense of students. Also, these authors seem more interested in showing off their knowledge of surveying and calculations than trying to break it down. This is not an intro book but more of an intermediate level course book. The only way I was able to pass my class was that the instructor WAS able to break it down. This book is not friendly to beginners. You are much better off getting Survey Reference Manual by George Cole which is published by PPI.
It was required! - Angela Templeton - Franklin, NC United States
I hate this text book. It is very hard to understand. It was a required text for my class and I did save money by buying it on Amazon vs. the College book store.
Horrible text book - D. Ciaramicoli -
This is the worst text book I have ever used. There are many problems with it. Many of the problems are vauge and unclear in what they are asking. The explainations are confusing and unclear. There are even typos in the book. For each chapter, only about 5 answers are given to the homework problems. This makes it hard to know of you are doing the work correctly. This book is poorly written and extremly over priced. If you can avoid buying it please do. There has to be a better surveying text than this.
