Plane and Geodetic Surveying, Volume I by David Clark, revised for the fifth edition by James Clendinning, remains one of the foundational texts in the field of land and geodetic surveying. First published in the early 20th century and continually refined through subsequent editions, this 1961 revision reflects the evolution of surveying techniques up to the mid-century, incorporating both classical methods and early advancements in instrumentation and geodesy.
Volume I focuses on plane surveyingcovering topics such as measurement of distances, angles, and elevations, traversing, leveling, topographic mapping, and the use of theodolites and other essential equipment. Clarke's systematic approach is complemented by Clendinning's technical updates, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and practical relevance for students, surveyors, and civil engineers alike.
Illustrated with detailed diagrams and tables, the book provides a rigorous foundation for understanding the theory and application of surveying principles, forming a complete course when paired with Volume II on geodetic methods. Plane and Geodetic Surveying stands as a classic reference for professional practice and academic study in geomatics, civil engineering, and land measurement.
