4th edition of the classic "Estimating Earthwork Quantities", written by Daniel Benn Atcheson (1945-2020) with illustrations by his father James Edward Atcheson (1906-1986). The author's stated intention was to present a practical, easy to understand book that would serve as a comprehensive, realistic, and logically organized training and reference manual dealing with the subject of determining earthwork quantities. As a training manual, the book offers a system of estimating which starts in chapter one and develops throughout the book. It was not meant to be a series of problem-solving techniques alone. The text is divided into two parts. Part one (chapters 1-11) cover the most basic and often encountered problems. Part two (chapters 12-16) shows real, but unusual, situations requiring more complex solution techniques. The book consists of a disclaimer, Table of Contents, Preface, Pearls of Wisdom, 16 chapters, 4 Appendices, and an Index. v + 223pp. Daniel Atcheson was a practicing construction cost estimator who taught classes on the subject for the Engineering Department of Texas Tech. His father, James Atcheson, operated his own architect firm in the Texas panhandle. A photo of them together is on page 95.
