5.0 out of 5 stars Very, very useful, 30 Jan 2004
By Dai Dant (Dyfed, West Wales) - See all my reviews
I rate this book as a lucky chance find. Just about every page is packed with useful information. It covers it's subject comprehensively in a readable style, interspersed by interesting facts e.g. the original definition of a (Roman) mile.
Many books on navigation assume background knowledge, which may not always be available. Starting with basics including mapping conventions and grid reference systems, it goes on to give very detailed and valuable coverage to quite an advanced level. Use of handheld GPS instruments is thoroughly explored. The emphasis is on terrestrial navigation though coastal and maritime topics are also thoroughly described. The only significant and deliberate ommission is astro-navigation with a sextant, which would be of historical interest only to the great majority.
The book continues with very practical advice on survival planning, search & rescue procedures, and tracking. Lastly there is an chapter on escape and evasion which I hope will remain interesting theory to me!
In summary, a valued and interesting book which deserves to stay in print for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable and useful, 15 Jun 2006
By Laurire P. Neale (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a perfect introduction to this topic. The style of writing is very easy to follow and it allows you to drop in and out of the book as you please. It starts with the absolute basics but manages to keep each section more or less independent of the others. I would have liked some more information on astro-navigation. This guy has managed to explain all other complex ideas so simply that I think we expect him to be able to the same for astro-navigation, which simply is another book in its own right. I'm sure any beginner who buys this book will find it an enjoyable read and it will spark a curiosity to learn more.
