Great Book, but not a Quick Fix

This book is filled with information that is very valuable, however I do not believe you could read it once and use the information upon memory. Some of the information may work that way, but I believe field experience with this book in hand is the best way to learn the skills necessary to use...

Want to learn history?

I've read many, many books about survival, orienteering, and finding your way w/out a map or compass. I would not recommend this book to anyone. Sure, every book will teach you something, no matter how poorly written it is. But you do not expect to read a book that is 95% history, and 5%...

What a gem!

This book is an absolute gem. I gave a copy of it to each of two friends for Christmas and both exclaimed how thrilled they were with it. One friend is a stargazer by nature and also loves to walk in the woods; the other prefers being in a boat far from shore. They couldn't believe such a...

Well Written and Informative!

The title alone should pique your interest! It did for me and once I started reading it I wasn't disappointed. This was a well written and truly informative piece of work. Harold Gatty was well known amongst the pioneers of aviation for his expert navigation skills. Gatty navigated many cross...

One of the best books I've ever read

This book covers a subject that is oft-neglected, but is very important to anyone and everyone. It is engagingly written by a true expert. As odd as this may seem, given the subject matter, in many places it is near profound.
