This book provides the necessary background of geometry,
mathematics and physical geodesy, useful to a rigorous approach to
geodetic heights. The concept of height seems to be intuitive and
immediate, but on the contrary it requires a good deal of
scientific sharpness in the definition and use. As a matter of fact
the geodetic, geographic and engineering practice has introduced
many different heights to describe our Earth physical reality in
terms of spatial position of points and surfaces. This has urged us
to achieve a standard capability of transforming one system into
the other. Often this is done in an approximate and clumsy way.
This book solves the above practical problems in a rigorous way,
showing what degree of approximation is used in approximate
formulas. In addition the book gives a sound view on a matter that
is presently occupying scientific associations, namely the
unification of the global and regional height reference systems. It
provides the mathematical background as well as the state of the
art of its implementation. It will be particularly useful for
professionals and national agencies.
