Introduction to Geodesy The History and Concepts of Modern Geodesy

Dieses Buch ist das einzige Werk, das den Leser ohne mathematisches Expertenwissen in die Geodäsie einführt. Zahlreiche Diagramme und Beispiele illustrieren diese Disziplin, die die Grundlage für moderne Technologien wie die satellitengestützte Ortung (GPS) und geografische Informationssysteme (GIS) bildet.
