The primary aim of this book is to provide a guide to current
practice and equipment for non-specialist surveyors in the various
professions involved in the construction industry and the
environment. It is suitable for students preparing for degrees and
diplomas in architecture, building, building surveying, quantity
surveying, estate management and town planning and environmental
studies. It is also of value to engineers who are not specialising
in engineering surveying. This book has been thoroughly revised to
include new topics such as OS digital mapping, standard deviation
and standard error, global positioning systems, transition and
vertical curves. Walter Whyte was born in New Zealand of Scottish
parents and educated in Scotland. He worked on site and building
surveys in Scotland. He worked on site and building surveys in
Scotland, then on road survey and setting out in the North Nyanza
and Uasin Gishu Provinces of Kenya, and as a road engineer in
British Southern Cameroons and Northern Nigeria, De Montford
University in the UK and latterly at City University, Hong Kong.
Raymond E Paul has been professionally involved in surveying for
over 40 years as a land and cartographical surveyor, senior
lecturer and author. He has a wealth of practical experience and an
awareness of the needs of the intended users of this book from all
corners of the globe.
Service computing is a cutting-edge area, popular in both
industry and academia. New challenges have been introduced to
develop service-oriented systems with high assurance requirements.
High Assurance Services Computing captures and makes accessible the
most recent practical developments in service-oriented
high-assurance systems.
An edited volume contributed by well-established researchers in
this field worldwide, this book reports the best current practices
and emerging methods in the areas of service-oriented techniques
for high assurance systems. Available results from industry and
government, R&D laboratories and academia are included, along
with unreported results from the "hands-on" experiences of software
professionals in the respective domains.
Designed for practitioners and researchers working for
industrial organizations and government agencies, High Assurance
Services Computing is also suitable for advanced-level students in
computer science and engineering.

Matter and Form explores the relationship that has long existed
between natural science and political philosophy. Plato's Socrates
articulates the Ideas or Forms as an account of the ultimate source
of causality in the cosmos. Aristotle's natural philosophy had a
significant impact on his political philosophy: he argues that
humans are by nature political animals, having their natural end in
the city whose regime is hierarchically structured based on
differences in moral and intellectual capacity. Medieval theorists
attempt to synthesize classical natural and political philosophy
with the revealed truths of scripture; they argue that divine
reason structures an ordered universe, the awareness of which
allows for psychic and political harmony among human beings.
Enlightenment thinkers challenge the natural philosophy of
classical and medieval philosophers, ushering in a more liberal
political order. For example, for Hobbes, there is no rest in
nature as there are no Aristotelian forms or natural places that
govern matter. Hobbes applies his mechanistic understanding of
material nature to his understanding of human nature: individuals
are by nature locked in an endless pursuit of power until death.
However, from this mechanistic understanding of humanity's natural
condition, Hobbes develops a social contract theory in which civil
and political society is constituted from consent. Later thinkers,
such as Locke and Rousseau, modify this Hobbesian premise in their
pursuit of the protection of rights and a free society.
Nevertheless, materialist conceptions of the cosmos have not always
given rise to liberal democratic philosophies. Historicist
influence on scientific inquiry in the nineteenth century is
connected to Darwin's theory of evolution; Darwin reasoned that
over time the process of natural selection produces ever newer and
more highly adapted species. Reflecting a form of social Darwinism,
Nietzsche envisions an aristocratic order that draws its
inspiration from art rather than the rationalism
