Any good geodesy books?

Hello folks,

I am looking for good sources about geodesy books through Amazon.com, etc.
Does anyone have recommend books for GPS programming or flight/space
simulators?

Thanks!
Tim

Tim,

I am not sure what it is you are looking for nor do I understand the
connection between geodesy and GPS programming. However, I would like to
recommend an excellent book concerning geodesy. Try to find a copy of
"Map Projections - a Working Manual" by John P. Snyder. This is also
know as U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1395. I am not sure if
it is still in print, but I would check the USGS to see if it is still
available.

It is still available and also now available online as a PDF:
