Abstract
THIS very substantial volume treats entirely of the construction of maps from photographs. It is stated in the editor's preface that the work has been compiled mainly from lectures delivered during the sixth vacation course on photogrammetry which was held at Jena in 1929. The translators remark that this is the first of German books on the subject to be translated into English. Of the seven contributors, five are connected with the deservedly famous firm of Carl Zeiss, of Jena; we shall, therefore, find the Zeiss point of view, on any debatable points, very ably presented. The largest contribution is that made by Dr. Otto von Gruber.

Edited By O. von Gruber. Translated from the German original by G. T. McCaw and F. A. Cazalet. Pp. xii + 454 + 55 plates. (London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1932.) 30s. net.
