This new paperback series will regularly publish some of our most popular titles in agriculture, architecture, chemistry, engineering and technology, earth and environmental sciences, life sciences, mathematics, medicine, physics and statistics. More information on each of these titles can be found in this catalog (see pages indicated). These titles join those published in the series earlier this year (formerly known as the Wiley Science Paperback Series).

This compact book introduces the fundamental issues, tasks, and problems of site engineering. It addresses site surveying and mapping, site drainage, slope stabilization, and basic site structures. It also discusses laser technology, water conservation, environmental impact, and use of ground for thermal buffing and explores topical issues in modern surveying, computational mapping techniques, and computer-aided design (CAD).

Introduces the basic materials used in the engineering design of sites.
-- Explains surveying information applicable to architects, civil engineers, landscape architects, and builders.
-- Provides examples of problems and their solutions encountered in surveying data.
-- Includes references and practical study aids which facilitate home-study use by readers.
