商品描述

This book gives a comprehensive overview of all relevant elements in topography and their practical application. It elaborates on the classical representation of terrain on maps such as cartographic projections, together with their classification, scale, and geographical elements. It is richly illustrated with photographs, maps and figures, in which the theoretical explanations are clarified.

Readers will become acquainted with the physical characteristics of the ground, i.e. tectonic and erosive shapes, the importance and classification of terrain, genetic (fluvial, abrasive, glacial, karst) and topographic types such as higher (mountains, hills, peaks) and lower terrain (valleys, fields). In addition, the book discusses cartometry and coordinate systems, orientation in space (geographic, topographic, tactical) including by means of maps, instruments and the night sky and elaborates new techniques and technologies such as aerial photogrammetric imagery, global navigation satellite systems and LiDAR.

The book also includes methods for the practical execution of concrete measurement operations, such as determining position and movement on land with maps, compass and azimuth which makes it especially useful for practitioners and professionals, e.g., for landscape planning, military exercises, mountaineering, nature walks etc. As such it offers a valuable guide not only for undergraduate students but also for researchers in the fields of geography, geosciences, geodesy, ecology, forestry and related areas looking for an overview on topography. Uniquely, the book also features an extensive glossary of topographical terms.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書全面概述了地形學中所有相關元素及其實際應用。它詳細闡述了地圖上地形的經典表示方法，如製圖投影，並介紹了其分類、比例尺和地理元素。書中配有豐富的照片、地圖和圖形，以澄清理論解釋。

讀者將熟悉地面的物理特徵，即構造和侵蝕形狀、地形的重要性和分類、基因類型（如河流、磨蝕、冰川、喀斯特）以及地形類型，如高地（山脈、丘陵、峰頂）和低地（山谷、田野）。此外，書中還討論了測圖學和坐標系統、空間定位（地理、地形、戰術），包括通過地圖、儀器和夜空進行的定位，並詳細介紹了新技術和技術，如航空攝影測量影像、全球導航衛星系統和激光雷達（LiDAR）。

本書還包括具體測量操作的實際執行方法，例如使用地圖、指南針和方位角確定地面上的位置和運動，這使其對於從事景觀規劃、軍事演習、登山、自然步道等的實務工作者和專業人士特別有用。因此，它不僅為本科生提供了寶貴的指南，也為地理學、地球科學、測量學、生態學、林學及相關領域的研究人員提供了地形學的概述。獨特的是，這本書還包含了廣泛的地形術語詞彙表。
