The book flows well and the chapters make sense (as they were placed). Again, it doesn`t delve deeply into the meaning of things, but it`s great as a quick reference.

Everything from a small view of past surveying to the limits of water to the order of importance of monuments. Very good book. When I notice the number of bad descriptions I`ve encountered when searching for titles, it seems that more people need to read this book before writing legal descriptions.
