The Elements of Geodetic Astronomy: For Civil Engineer, written by Henry Curwen Lord and originally published in 1904, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of geodetic astronomy. The book is intended for civil engineers who need to understand the fundamentals of geodetic astronomy in order to plan and execute large-scale engineering projects, such as the construction of bridges, tunnels, and canals.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the measurement of angles and distances, the use of astronomical observations for determining latitude and longitude, the calculation of geodetic curves and surfaces, and the use of geodetic instruments such as the theodolite and the sextant. The author also provides detailed instructions for the use of specific geodetic instruments, as well as examples of practical applications of geodetic astronomy in engineering projects.Throughout the book, Lord emphasizes the importance of accuracy and precision in geodetic astronomy, and provides numerous tips and techniques for achieving these goals. He also discusses the various sources of error that can affect geodetic measurements, and provides guidance on how to minimize or correct for these errors.Overall, The Elements of Geodetic Astronomy is a valuable resource for civil engineers and others who need to understand the principles and techniques of geodetic astronomy, and is still widely used today as a reference work in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
