1001 Solved Surveying Problems.......2007-09-06

I bought this book to help review for the LSIT exam. After going through some problems I found the book to be very helpful in refreshing my memory on some of the things I forgot. Def. a good book for any surveyor or surveying student.

1001 Solved Surveying Fundamentals Problems.......2005-09-07

Super fast shipping. I will always order from the seller.

Excellent source of knowledge.......2005-07-09

If you want to learn the most common surveying situations you may face out there, this is the book you need to read. Written with a high level of professionalism, the book covers a wide range of topics. I've just finished a course on surveying and definitely it helped me a lot. You will enjoy it if you are a math lover.

Do well on these questions and you will pass your FLS!!!.......2003-12-13

I used this book almost exclusively in studying for the FLS exam in October of 2003 and ultimately passing it. I felt like the questions in here prepared me really well, in fact, the majority of them were more difficult than the ones on the test! The only things that I can think of that it didn't delve into were computer, spelling, and grammar questions which were on the exam, but you only have to get a 70% on it, not 100%!! After all this is a SURVEYING book....

Welcome to Surveying.......2002-12-29

This is the most practical exam prep tool I've found to date, and I know what I'm talking about. Licensure was important to me, so I've purchased and used over $2,000 worth of references. This book is the most thorough, topic by topic prep manual I've seen. If you can master the material in this book, you're as ready for the NCEES exam as you can possibly be. How do I know? I passed on my first sitting, and this book was one of the main reasons why. Going through this book from cover to cover is definitely like "basic training" for surveyors.

A Useful Tool.......2007-03-09

The labs I've done so far have all been very helpful in reinforcing concepts I've been learning in class. The labs are often very challenging and sometimes details needed for answering questions aren't given, but for the most part the instructions are clear. I find, though, that I often need instruction and guidance from the professor in doing the work, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this book for self-instruction.

Book Description

"Body is our first environment," writes Andrea Olsen. "It is the medium through which we know the earth." In a remarkable integration of environmental science, biology, meditation, and creative expression, Olsen, a dancer who teaches in the environmental studies program at Middlebury College, offers a guide to a holistic understanding of person and place. Part workbook, part exploration, Body and Earth considers the question of how we can best, most responsibly inhabit both our bodies and our planet.

Olsen displays an easy command of fields as diverse as geology, biochemistry, ecology, and anatomy as she explores the ways in which our bodies are derived from and connected to the natural world. But Body and Earth is not just a lesson, it is also an investigation. Arranged as a 31-day program, the book offers not only a wealth of scientific information, but also exercises for both exploring the body and connecting with place; illustrations and works of art that illuminate each chapter's themes; and Olsen's own meditations and reflections, connecting the topics to her personal history and experience.

Olsen insists that neither body nor landscape are separate from our fundamental selves, but in a culture which views the body as a mechanism to be trained and the landscape as a resource to be exploited, we need to learn to see again their fundamental wholeness and interconnection. Through hard data, reflection, exercises, and inspiration, Body and Earth offers a guide to responsible stewardship of both our planet and our persons.

Body and Earth.......2002-12-02

Andrea Olsen's book wakes up your conscious being and brings back your connectedness to earth. It makes you grateful for gravity and the nature that surrounds you and you might begin to be in awe of yourself and others. As Bebe Miller already said, this book will be with you for a long time. Body and Earth touches all your senses with its beautiful art work and its suggested exercises are easy and joyful to complete if you wish to do so. Here are just some of the "exercises" the book suggests: Water - notice how just by sipping some nice clear water it transitions from an external to an internal state. Movement - imagine creating a short dance for every day of the week and how this might wake up your senses and might relate to your sense of space. Food - write your own story of digestion as food moves through you to nurture you. Oh, and your place. Choose a small area outside and investigate it: where is water, what insects live on it, how is life like from the perspective of an insect, what plants are on this chosen place of yours and how do they smell and even taste? The book truly invites you to investigate yourself and all that surrounds you. This book is so much fun and so enjoyable that you learn a lot along the way without even noticing. It's a great gift for anyone.

This is also a wonderful book for body workers and their students. As a Yoga teacher I have had the opportunity to work with Andrea and I know that her suggestions really work because you have a chance to experience yourself what she teaches. It brings anatomical teachings back to life. To paraphrase Andrea, this book will make you feel and as you feel you are becoming a caretaker of body, a caretaker of earth. I think we have already caused too much pain to both, so this book might encourage us to heal and act.

good resource.......2007-07-25

My daughter and I are enjoying the geography lessons. It is silly how each chapter is divided to be taught in a classroom over a whole week when the work of one chapter can be completed in about 10 to 15 minutes. We do one chapter a day as part of our homeschooling over the summer (my daughter attends school the rest of the year). Regardless of the layout, the chapters are good for learning US geography, especially for kids who go to schools that don't think geography is important. I plan to get the 4th grade level when we finish this one.

Learning about the US is fun!.......2007-03-09

I am using a lot of the Spectrum books for home-schooling and love them. They allow the kids to go at their own pace, but add depth you don't find in a lot of workbook-style books. Each section involves "thinking" rather than fill-in-the-blank-type answers. My daughter loves this book. It attacks the US by region after first teaching map skills (map key, compass rose, waterways, etc.) Each chapter is broken down into a few introductory paragraphs about the week's topic, a map illustration, and daily assignments that are not too difficult and allow jumping off points for discussion or, in our case, she loves to go it on her own.
