Rezension zu „The Lost Art of Finding Our Way “
The book offers a clear, comprehensive, and entertaining short course in navigation that draws on Earth science, history, anthropology, neuroscience, archaeology, and linguistics. It provides both a primer on navigational techniques and a tour through 'the historical evolution of way finding.' Huth punctuates instruction on celestial navigation and reading wind, weather, and currents with engaging stories and images. These are derived from sources as varied as the oral histories of Pacific Islanders and Inuit hunters, Homer's Odyssey", Icelandic sagas, navigational tables from the medieval Islamic world, and contemporary news reports and sailing accounts.--Deirdre Lockwood"Science" (08/09/2013)
