I’m fond of the books by this author. I have 3 or 4. I start reading them every spring. If you love the outdoors and haven’t spent your life as an experienced outdoors person, (much more than most summer camp experiences) you’ll find all his work in this series fascinating too.

This interesting book deals with a topic I had never considered by itself – natural navigation using only natural landmarks and signs. I consider navigation quite regularly since I enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities, but normally I had viewed what the author calls “natural navigation” as just handy methods to back up other devices like a compass if they fail or are lost. This book does live up to it’s title since the author very thoroughly covers the navigational aspects of everything from wind and plant life all the way to animal behavior and a lot of celestial navigation.
Unfortunately, all of the very interesting information the book discusses mentioned above tends to be sandwiched between digressions into spiritualism or other rabbit-holes (excuse the pun) the author associates with the topic. This is not a fatal flaw, but does make some sections more informative than others. Over-all I do recommend this book for anyone interested in outdoor activities which take you away from paved roads and other trappings of civilization.
