The Surveyor Reference Manual is the most comprehensive reference and study guide available for surveyors preparing for the Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) exam. New chapters on aerial mapping and hydrographic surveying have been added to this edition, and chapters on map projections and state plane coordinate systems, water boundaries, and riparian and littoral rights have been significantly revised.
"The Land Surveyor Reference Manual successfully prepared me for the exam and is now the backbone of my reference collection." -J. Forest McKenzie II, E.I.T., L.S.I.T. Civil Designer ADC Engineering, Inc.
Anyone preparing for there LSIT would benefit from this book. It reviews even explains basic formulas, calculations and principles of surveying.
This book was required for one of my classes. I still have it. It is good as a reference or a guide to a reference I need. It is pretty well constructed. According, to my professor, "Its not perfect, but it gets the job done."
