Zustand: New. Sancta Sophia is the most interesting building on the world's surface. Like Karnak in Egypt, or the Athenian Parthenon, it is one of the four great pinnacles of architecture, but unlike them this is no ruin, nor does it belong to a past world of constructive ideas although it precedes by seven hundred years the fourth culmination of the building art in Chartres, Amiens, or Bourges, and thus must ever stand as the supreme monument of the Christian cycle. Our first object has been to attempt some disentanglement of the history of the Church and an analysis of its design and construction; on the one hand, we have been led a step or two into the labyrinth of Constantinopolitan topography, on the other, we have thought that the great Church offers the best point of view for the observation of the Byzantine theory of building.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The 'Topographic Manual' is a comprehensive technical guide that details the rigorous standards and methodologies employed in topographic surveying and cartography during the early twentieth century. Authored by O.W. Swainson, a key figure in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, this work serves as an essential reference for engineers, surveyors, and geographers interested in the evolution of precision measurement.The manual covers a wide range of topics, including the use of specialized instruments such as the plane table and alidade, the execution of aerial photography for mapping purposes, and the intricate process of data reduction and contouring. It provides clear, systematic instructions for field operations, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the creation of detailed topographical maps. Beyond its technical utility, the work reflects the peak of manual surveying techniques before the widespread digital revolution. 'Topographic Manual' remains a valuable historical resource for understanding the foundations of modern geospatial science and the meticulous labor required to document the physical landscape. Its detailed explanations and procedural rigor make it a significant document for those studying the history of science, engineering, and the systematic mapping of the natural world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
