3.0 out of 5 stars"Landscape Surveying" by Harry L. Field and "Elementary Surveying" by Breed and Hosmer
By Philip Howe on October 27, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I am not a surveyor, but am a physicist who needed to do some surveying. I purchased two books: "Landscape Surveying" by Harry L. Field and "Elementary Surveying" by Breed and Hosmer (B&F). Field's book was written in 2004, Breed and Hosmer's in 1938.

I found the text by Breed and Hosmer to be far more complete and useful than the book by Field. Although Field's book treats the same range of subjects as does Breed and Hosmer's, the subjects are not treated in as great a depth, nor as rigorously, nor is the exposition typically as clearly written. Field's book does have the advantage that it includes a discussion of technologies not available in 1938, such as laser range finders and laser levels, and electronic transits. Field's chapter on Global Positioning Systems is useful and interesting. Field's book lacks any treatment of calibrating the equipment discussed, whereas B&F provide a thorough discussion on calibration of equipment, especially of transits and compasses. Since my transit is a vintage 1945 Keuffel and Esser model, I found this particularly useful.

Field's book provides numerous figures although, in some cases, the figures could be improved. For example, Field discusses converting slope distances to horizontal distances. The supporting figure 4.2 could be significantly improved with some inset triangles showing distances and angles with appropriate labels. There is no discussion of errors and accuracy. In contrast, B&F includes a thorough discussion of errors, and has numerous suggestions for improved accuracy.

The text in Field's book could also be improved. In numerous instances, sloppy writing leads to confusion.Read more ›
