Robillard and Wilson address the tension between new surveying technology that makes redrawing boundaries more accurate, and long established legal traditions concerning boundaries. The text can be used by students a source of knowledge of the legal aspects of boundaries, and by courts to support their legal decisions concerning boundaries. The topics include the history and concept of boundaries, the creation and interpretation of metes and bounds and other non-sectionalized descriptions, riparian and littoral boundaries, retracing and resurveying sectionalized lands, locating combination descriptions and conveyances, and the ethics and moral responsibilities of boundary creation and of retracements. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The new edition of Brown's Boundary Control and Legal Principles has been updated to reflect ongoing changes in surveying technology and surveying law, notably by adding water boundary expert George Cole as a contributor to revamp information on Riparian and Littorial Boundaries. Additionally, a new appendix has been introduced containing a comprehensive list of surveying books that have been referenced in court cases and legal decisions as persuasive authority over the years. It is indispensable reading for students and practicioners studying for the Fundamentals of Land Surveying licensure exam.
