What Instructors Say
I have been teaching with Rick Ellis and Russell Martin's AutoCAD Map 3D books several years. These Map 3D books have been an excellent teaching resource with easy to follow steps. I would recommend these books to any teacher looking for a practical guide.

Rick Ellis is one of the leading authorities on Civil Engineering & Surveying software in the United States and the author of the Practical Guide series. He lectures and teaches seminars across the country. I have attended his seminars. The textbooks Rick Ellis has written have been an exceptional addition to my classroom. They are written with thought and imagination. They are direct and to the point. They are easy for the students to follow yet challenging enough to keep the students interested and using their skills and learning to think through exercises. I would suggest all Civil Engineering and Surveying professors review his books. Once read and reviewed I would venture to say, they will be using them in the classroom.
