For aspiring explorers.
Unplug, log-off and get outside (after you read this next paragraph of course) with this comprehensive guide to the history and science of navigation. Discover explorers and the tools they developed through the ages: from the ancient Polynesians who crafted stick charts to learn swell patterns in the water to navigate precise paths through the ocean; to Age of Discovery navigators who used compasses and maps to reach the New World; to the modern-day pilots who wield radar and GPS to soar across continents.
Featuring an introduction from the National Geographic Society’s Explorer of the Year and master Hawaiian navigator Nainoa Thompson.
