Poor Service From Amazon
Extremely poor service from Amazon.I was not able to pay extra for shipping and I still do not have the book.It was Ordered 10/3/09, their message said it shipped 10/6, tracking says it might be here by 10/15/09.My class is nearly over.In addition, after I ordered the book, they lowered the price from $25.99 to $19.99 with free 2 day shipping.I still do not have the book and I have been a previous customer. Wont be so stupid next time.

the book took a very short time to get here, and everything was still wrapped-up. it was just what I wanted.

Awesome product, just as described.
this book was in perfect condition and still in the plastic packaging.Shipping was slower than expected but for the cheap price that I paid, it was definitely worth it!

From the supplier: Autodesk Inc's Autodesk Training Centers (ATCs) are a successful application of the new technique of continuous education to the fields of computer-aided design (CAD) and multimedia. Frequent changes in technology mean that the skills of professionals, including educators, can quickly become outdated unless training is viewed as a continuous process. In the area of drafting and design, those without computer skills are becoming increasingly unemployable. However, a short program of retraining in AutoCAD drafting software at an ATC can enormously improve the employment prospects of experienced technicians. The large number of people needing retraining and the shortage of technically qualified trainers means that the approach of training-the-trainer can often give greater productivity. This approach, however, requires financial resources that may be beyond the means of school districts, universities, and small businesses. In this case, it can be best for educators to attend commercial instructor-training courses such as Autodesk Inc's Instructor Development Workshops, which integrate technical instruction with pedagogical material into a unified educational program.

great for learning the capabilities of Civil 3D
I highly recommend this book as well as the others in the series.It helps to have some basic familiarity with AutoCAD before picking it up, but this book is well written and easy to follow.

The truth is in the title...
This book series has continued to provide my department a desktop guide to mastering the art and science in Civil 3d.The best part about the book is being able to skip straight to the tough topic of the day, and to make sure you have the basic, and the exact explanation.Classes tend to dwell on what they believe is important from the programs capabilities, but a book index lets you pick and choose battles and maintain profitable in your everyday work.

Special thanks to the authors for such an in depth look at topics.I will be taking the Autodesk Certification in the fall, and will be glad to have "Mastered" my craft. ... Read more
