Finding North

Description

By George Michelsen Foy

With engaging and personal prose, George Michelsen Foy explores the history, natural history, and—most critically— the vital importance for us today of navigation. In an age when we too often rely on technology to tell us where are and where we’re going. Foy’s compelling story asks at what cost. What do we lose when we allow our skills of navigation—earned through centuries of finding our way in a wild and sometimes foreboding world—to fade? As we careen further into a century of global change, Foy shows how in a world of mystery and fear, and the near certainty of loss, we will need these skills of navigation more than ever.

Truly, this is a book we have had a hard time to put down. It would be an excellent companion to Pinpoint, a book shown elsewhere in this section. 2016, HC, 290 pages. SW 1 lb
