Datums and Map Projections Summary

Datums and Map Projections: For Remote Sensing, GIS and Surveying, Second Edition by Jonathan IIiffe

A practical guide to coordinate reference systems, Datums and Map Projections: For Remote Sensing, GIS and Surveying has become a key book for many students and professionals around the world. While retaining the benefits of the first edition - clear presentation assuming no prior knowledge, a problem-solving approach, practical examples and the combination of GPS-derived data from other sources - the rewritten and expanded second edition includes a revised structure that better groups common themes, greater scope and coverage of all possible types of coordinate reference systems, more examples and case studies from around the world, terminology of the ISO 1911, and color illustrations.

Datums and Map Projections Reviews

"Written for those working with spatially referenced data a guide to the problems that may be associated with datums and map projections."
-Sci Tech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 3, September 2001

"The author of this book should be congratulated a very practical approach to the subject the author has very sensibly opted for the use of numerous, well-presented, detailed examples and diagrams to simplify the conceptssuitable for anyone involved in the use of spatial data "
-Allison Kealy, University of Melbourne


What a wonderful little book! ... first class ... worthy of recommendation to students and professional practitioners alike.
-- The Photogrammetric Record
The book is a welcome addition to the Whittles stable of geomatics texts ... I'll certainly be recommending it to my students!
-- SoC Bulletin
... would suggest it becomes compulsory reading before anyone attempts to use maps to display positionally referenced data. It will also be of value to all surveying students ...
-- Surveying World
... the author should be congratulated on providing a clear explanation of the terminology, relationships, transformations and computations involved when combining data from different sources. ... well detailed case studies ... ideal for anyone trying to come to grips with the complexities of datums and map projections.
