The exposition in 3 ( 3.1 ), 3 ( 3.2 ) and 3 ( 3.3 ) provides first brief up-to-date specific information for the different objects , about their nature , construction , requirements , normative base and peculiarities . So , among other things , the actual engineering information and terminology are used and the specialists speak the same language , moreover that the considered problems are interdisciplinary .
It has been already mentioned that the material is summarized , systematized and structured and that the content is formulated and the issues of Engineering Geodesy problems considered . In addition , it has been pointed out that the exposition is original and conceived in such manner that practically not only Book 3 but also each section represents a completed independent work – a separate monograph . In this way , a new concept , a new unit in literature appeared , namely “ Systems of monographs ” or “ System monograph ”, for books of such character .
3 . SUMMARY REVIEW , ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION OF LITERATURE IN THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING GEODESY
In historical plan there is an enormous number of works devoted to Applied and Engineering Geodesy . Some of them are cited in the literature referred to here and in the literature to the separate books and sections and at the beginning of Book 1 . In addition , it is appropriate to clearly emphasize that the beginning and the distinguishing of mass Engineering Geodesy , its formulation , definition and use as a concept have been set and differentiated in the former Soviet Union . Regardless of the fact that large-scale projects with a significant volume of geodetic works , with high accuracy and specific requirements have been conducted in many other countries .
It has to be definitely noted that there is a great variety in the type , form of presentation , essence of exposition , structure and other indicators of the works on Engineering Geodesy . Great part of the literature sources is dedicated to individual problems of Engineering Geodesy . However , about 90 % of the contents consist in basics and elements of conventional geodesy – essence , tools , survey methods , etc ., and only the remaining , relatively small volume includes the problem of Engineering Geodesy . This was typical for publications mainly from the former Soviet Union and the other countries of the Socialist Block at that time .
Most often works on geodesy were written , in which separate sections or chapters were devoted to Engineering Geodesy . Some of them are already complex works , considering the problems of geodesy and Engineering Geodesy on a modern level { 28 ], [ 14 ]. Due to the lack of sufficient volume , this consideration is often limited or the books are with a large volume . There are also opposite cases , when in their greater part the works are dedicated to Engineering Geodesy but they integrate parts of general geodesy , geodetic tool development , traditional and unique instruments and technologies [ 25 ], problems of mathematics , error theory , etc . [ 27 ], [ 28 ].
Certain issues of Applied and Engineering Geodesy are considered in an extremely large number of works and they are very comprehensive and on a high level . Earlier this was true for publications in the former Soviet Union . In the last more than 20 years this also holds true for the countries in Western Europe and especially for Germany .
At the same time there is a large number of works in the literature aimed at providing systematic presentation of the issues of Engineering Geodesy . Although they consider essential problems of Engineering Geodesy , they can be defined as “ fragmentary ” ones . Depending on the level and experience of the author / authors the exposition is without a definite focus and is often chaotic – in a bulk state , not exhausting the problems . Others are on a relatively high level , reflecting the state of science and practice at the given stage of
