Surveyors everywhere know Berntsen for the company's survey markers and monuments. In itself, a monument is a ubiquitous piece of metal, concrete, stone, or whatever material happens to be available at the time, but Lasting Impressions goes far beyond that to tell intriguing stories of surveying. Gathered from Berntsen's years in the business, some involve the usual types of monuments surveyors deal with on land every day, but others go to exotic locales. From the frozen tundra of Alaska to inside caves to underwater, the book ranges far and wide in detailing some of the more complex and demanding surveying situations. Rhonda Rushing, president of the company, compiled the information with the help of contributors involved in the individual surveys, and in so doing, she delves into history and personal backgrounds. She views it as telling the story of America's history through the eyes of surveyors. The colorful photographs and concise text make this an ideal coffee table book sure to entertain and inform many surveyors and laypeople alike.

Fundamentals of Boundary Surveying: How Boundaries are Established

Price: $45.00

Quantity:
Written by Paul L. Gay, land surveyor and attorney, this book explains in everyday language, how surveyors establish property lines. The reader is taken through all phases of a survey, from legal research through setting final monuments. Topics include measurements and bearing systems, deeds and the recording system, field work and calculations and adverse possession and easements.

This book is unique among textbooks on land surveying in that it does not demand that the reader wade through pages of mathematical equations. Instead, the book explains in clear, easy to understand language, the technical aspects and legal concepts underlying land surveying. Because land surveyors often have to deal with missing or conflicting evidence, much of the book is devoted to the legal principles that govern boundary establishment.
The book was written for professionals who work in the area of real property. Lawyers, land surveying students, civil engineers, city planners, building officials, GIS practitioners, real estate agents and others will find that the book is not only informative, it will also provide them with a handy reference which can be turned to when confronted with an issue relating to boundaries.”
