Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""General Theory Of The Lambert Conformal Conic Projection"" by Oscar Sherman Adams was published in 1918. It is a comprehensive guide to the Lambert conformal conic projection, a cartographic projection commonly used in mapping large areas with a north-south orientation. The book covers the mathematical principles behind the projection, including the derivation of the equations used to calculate the projection. It also provides practical guidance on how to use the projection in mapping, including how to choose the appropriate parameters for a given area and how to minimize distortion.The author, Oscar Sherman Adams, was a prominent American cartographer and geographer who made significant contributions to the field of map projection. His work on the Lambert conformal conic projection was particularly influential, and this book remains an important reference for anyone interested in cartography or geodesy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
