Golf Road Ballater plus the story of a lost bus garage. 'Golf Road,
Ballater' is the second book in my series of Ballater roads and
streets as I remember them in my youth.

No man is an island, wrote John Donne. BBC Home Editor Mark Easton
argues the opposite: that we are all islands, and it is upon the
contradictory shoreline where isolation meets connectedness, where
'us' meets 'them', that we find out who we truly are. Suggesting
that a continental bias has blinded us, Easton chronicles a sweep
of 250 million years of island history: from Pangaea (the
supercontinent mother of all islands) to the first intrepid
islanders pointing their canoes over the horizon, from exploration
to occupation, exploitation to liberation, a hopeful journey to
paradise and a chastening reminder of our planet's fragility. But
that is only half of this mesmerising book: aided by the muse he
names Pangaea, Easton also interweaves reflections on what he calls
'the psychological islands that form the great archipelago of
humankind'. Taking readers on an enchanting adventure, he
illustrates how understanding islands and island syndrome might
help humanity get closer to the truth about itself. Brave,
intelligent and haunting, Islands is a deep dive into geography,
myth, literature, politics and philosophy that reveals nothing less
than a map of the human heart.
Sponsored by the Surveying Committee of the Surveying and Geomatics
Division of the Utility Engineering and Surveying Institute of ASCE
and the National Geodetic Survey of the US National Oceanic and
Atmospheric AdministrationSurveying and Geomatics Engineering:
Principles, Technologies, and Applications, MOP 152, is a
comprehensive yet general overview to help support education and
inform practicing engineers on the important role of the surveying
engineer. It provides a much-needed update on the modern practice
of surveying and geomatics engineering. Topics include Geodesy,
Coordinate systems and transformations, Least squares adjustments
and error propagation, Modern surveying and remote sensing
technology, Analysis and establishment of control, Geographic and
building information systems, Construction surveying, and Best
practices. MOP 152 can be used as a summary and a reference for
practicing engineers, surveying and otherwise, to help provide a
solid understanding of the state of the surveying and geomatics
engineering field.
