This is a good intro to surveying in the construction application. It gives quite a few examples and chapter end questions if you want to treat it as a self study.

Being copyrighted in 1995, it is lacking in the areas of explanation of theodolites and total stations that are being used more frequently on todays construction sites. It is definitely not worth spending over $100.00 on. I believe I bought mine new for about $50.
