Book Description
The complete guide to adjusting for measurement error —expanded and updated.
All measurements contain errors. And with global positioning systems, total station instruments, digital metric cameras, and satellite imaging systems now generating vast quantities of data, adjustment for errors is crucial to accurate interpretation. Adjustment Computations provides a complete, up-to-date treatment of every aspect of least squares adjustment, the most rigorous procedure available for computing adjustments to measured data.
This comprehensive work starts with basic principles and proceeds to the development of proper mathematical and stochastic models. Advanced topics include use of constraint equations and blunder detection. Each chapter is supported by clear, practical examples, numerous illustrations, and helpful end-of-chapter problems. The accompanying disk contains three software packages: statistical analysis, the performance of least squares adjustments, and basic matrix operations.
New material in this expanded edition includes:
- Error propagation in angle and distance measurements, traverse computations, and elevation determination
- Confidence intervals and statistical testing
- Adjustment of GPS networks
- Blunder detection in horizontal survey networks.
An excellent reference and self-study source for working surveyors, photogrammetrists, and GIS managers, this book is an indispensable resource for students preparing for the LSIT, LS, and PE exams and the ideal text for courses in surveying, civil engineering, forestry, cartography, and geology.

The included software package.......2002-08-12
This is an excellent and relevant book. It is well structured, and the examples are very much practice oriented. However, when I tried to install the included software under Windows 98 and Windows 2000 Prof I failed. Only under Windows 95 it runs!
Did I something wrong or it is just like that!
I would appreciate any helpful comment!
A great investment.......2001-07-02
This is the most clear, well-written surveying text I've ever read. I recommend it both for students and --especially-- practising surveyors, who should have no problem going through it even after an exhausting day's work as, technical as it is, it is presented in a way by no means overwhelming. By the end of the book you'll have a firm understanding of, and be comfortably applying, statistical principles and least-squares methods in your job. It's an investment worth every penny.
Excellent Resource.......2001-06-20
Starts off with some basic principles before going in to more developed mathematical and stochastic models and even includes topics include in the use of constraint equations and blunder detection. Explanations are supported by clear & practical problems. Excellent book for surveyors and photogrammetrist.
Wonderfull reference.......2000-11-08
It covers the title subjects very well, and also covers related topics (such as blunder detection in horizontal networks) very well.

Another Epic Issue of Storm Riders!.......2003-03-12
For those of you who don't know by now, Storm Riders is an epic English-translated Chinese comic drawn by artist Wing Shing Ma. Wind Shing Ma's artistic style is very detailed and less exaggerated than most Japanese manga. Storm riders follow the story of stepbrothers Wind, Cloud, and Frost and their battles with their evil foster father Conquer. (Although it is not altogether necessary, its advisable to read issues 1-9 to fully appreciate 10).
In this issue, Lord Conquer's disciples Wind and Cloud are separated. Wind, suffering a devastating injury (see last issue) inflicted by evil lord Conquer, must cope with with the agony of his wound and a confrontation with an assassin band spearheaded by Immortal Taste (no, I did not make that one up, it really is his name!) Similarly, Cloud, must adjust to the use of his new arm (also last issue), and repay his debt to Red Yu.
This book deals with both heroes' loss they come to grips with their physical disabilities. This was a powerful issue, with some great character development for Wind and Cloud. In particular, Wind's devastating injuries and his nobility in the face of certain death were really gripping. Cloud breaks free of his mega jerk bad boy attitude to do a good deed, which had me gawking at the pages in amazement. (I'm not a huge fan of Cloud when he's in a self-pitying snit, which is most of the time, LOL). The scene between the two assassins "Harmony between husband and wife" was moving. (You'll know what I mean when you get to that part).
Another great issue of Storm Riders! (As usual), because of the violence (lots of death and mayhem), I recommend this for mature readers only.
Book Description
The foretold and long-feared invasion is in full swing as Japan's "Godless" and his son make their move to arrest all of China's supreme fighters - including Nameless and Cloud - in an attempt to claim the ancient land. Nameless has lost his chi and his ability to fight. What can Wind do alone against all of Japan's strongest?

Customer Reviews:
A "Must Read" for every proposal and bus. dev. professional.......2004-04-10
Whether you are preparing to respond to your first Request for Proposal (RFP) or your five hundreth, this book gives you the insight and knowledge gained from real world experience to make your next proposal a winner!
Having worked as a proposal manager for nearly 20 years myself, many of the "Tips" provided in this book serve as great reminders of things we sometimes forget to do in our proposal efforts.
You will find this book easy to read and follow along as you move from discussions on pre-proposal activity through delivery of orals and other post-proposal delivery actions. The numerous appendices, with their process-flow forms and checklists, will be a godsend to someone who is trying to manage a proposal for the first time. This book is much more than a "How To" guide; it gets into the real "meat of potatoes" of capturing/winning new business through the proposals process.
This book will be required reading for every commercial proposal or business development person who works with me in the future.
Notes from the author............2004-03-19
Writing Killer Sales Proposals is written as a "hands-on" book that you can immediately use to help you write winning proposals. The examples are real examples taken from past work with clients, proposals I've written, and RFPs that I've responded to or written for clients.
In Writing Killer Sales Proposals we review important concepts such as the difference between features and benefits and the value of solution selling instead of product selling. We emphasize getting a clear selling theme established early and revisiting that theme as often as possible. And finally, we help you to understand how to organize and structure a proposal process that allows you to work more quickly and efficiently on the proposal mechanics - giving you more time to spend on the business issues, the solution, and pricing.
With this new book, I have incorporated my experience as an RFP writer and manager. I have provided many "tips" directly from my experience in reviewing proposals and speaking with others who write RFPs. This experience, as both a proposal writer and an RFP manager, provides me with a unique perspective and viewpoint that few proposal writers can offer in this industry. I hope that this experience shines through in these pages and that it will help you to write better proposals.

Book Description
With the first generations of wage-earning women, precedents were established that still operate in today's workforce. An understanding of the early decades of this century is thus essential for women's studies, labor history, and sociology. Writing with a keen eye for detail as well as a real empathy with these women, Leslie Tentler reconstructs the day-to-day realities of life on the job, in the home and in the industrial neighborhoods of major cities. In doing so, she explores the myth that jobs outside the home for this generation led to women's emancipation.
