GPS Basics for Technical Professionals
by Pratap Misra, Ph.D.
This book, written expert GPS engineer Dr. Pratap Misra, is an excellent primer for all those who would benefit from an understanding of the GPS terms they hear around them at work. Engineers new to GPS find this book helps them familiarize themselves with the basics of GPS before they move into deeper learning. Its extraordinarily clear and even amusing.  a very relevant read for support, technical and management staffs.
The only prerequisite for this book is curiosity about a technology that has insinuated itself into our lives in a way that we can’t imaging how we ever lived without it.
