A cornerstone of engineering education for generations, Plane and Geodetic Surveying for Engineers: Volume Two — Higher Surveying presents an authoritative and meticulous treatment of advanced surveying techniques essential to the practising civil engineer. Originally authored by the late David Clark, M.A., B.Sc., Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto, this second volume chronicles the more complex disciplines of geodetic and higher surveying, building systematically upon the foundations laid in the first volume and taking the reader into the sophisticated realms of triangulation, precise levelling, and astronomical observation. Revised and enlarged in its third edition by James Clendinning, O.B.E., B.Sc. (Eng.), a former Surveyor-General of Gold Coast, the work retains Clark's rigorous academic clarity while incorporating updated methodologies and practical field wisdom drawn from Clendinning's distinguished professional career. Supplemented by an appendix on mechanical computing by L. J. Comrie, M.A., Ph.D., the text stands as a remarkably comprehensive reference — one that continues to instruct engineers in the precise mathematical and observational skills upon which all great works of construction depend. Whether consulted as a university textbook or a professional handbook, it remains an indispensable volume for anyone serious about the science of measurement.
