John Edward Huth
539 pages
Long before GPS and Google Earth, humans traveled vast distances using environmental clues and simple instruments. What else is lost when technology substitutes for our innate capacity to find our way? Illustrated with 200 drawings, this narrative—part treatise, part travelogue, and part navigational history—brings our own world into sharper view.
This book delves into the fascinating history of navigation and its impact on our brains in the age of GPS. The author's personal experience of navigating through a fog bank while sea kayaking adds a gripping element to the narrative, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the art of finding their way.
