The book, Higher Surveying (Volume 3), is a very useful manual for students as well as practitioners of the subject. Summary Of The Book Originally published in the year 1967, all the editions of Higher Surveying have proven to be very beneficial to readers. The three volumes of the 15th edition are no exception. The third volume of the series presents the theories and applications of Higher Surveying in a very contemporary and systematic manner. The chapters in the book include Field Astronomy, Photogrammetry, Electromagnetic Distance Measurement, Remote Sensing, and Geographical Information System. Each of these chapters deals with the topic in great detail. It includes all definitions, theories, concepts, and formulae. A few of the topics covered in the first chapter, Field Astronomy, include the Astronomical Triangle, Coordinate Systems, Units of Time, Relationships Between Coordinates, Relation Between Degrees and Hours of Time, The Sun Dials, Determination of Azimuth, Interpolation of Values, and Alternative Method of Finding L.S.T. from the Given Value of L.M.T. The second chapter titled Photogrammetric Surveying includes topics like Basic Principles, Definitions, Aerial Camera, Scale of a Tilted Photograph, Determination of Focal Length of the Lens, The Ground Control for Photogrammetry, Stereoscopic Vision, and Rectification and Enlargement of Photographs. The next two chapters include topics like The Geodimeter, Modulation, Total Station, Idealized Remote Sensing System, Electromagnetic Spectrum, Basic Radiation Laws, Sensors, and Electromagnetic Energy. Apart from providing theoretical explanations, the authors have also included various questions and problems, and offered answers and solutions to most of them. This enables readers to test their understanding of the topic, and apply the concepts and theories practically. The fifth edition of Higher Surveying (Volume 3) also gives detailed descriptions of modern equipment used in surveying. This textbook for surveying students is of great value to practitioners and professionals as well because it includes the latest technological developments in the field, and keeps the reader abreast of the latest changes.  About The Authors B.
