5.0 out of 5 stars Polynesian navigation over great distances w/o instruments, 4 Jun 1999
By A Customer
"We, The Navigators" is one of the first books written about polynesian navigation over great distances without benefit of any instruments except the senses of the navigators. The polynesians steered by the stars, sun, swell patterns, wind, birds, clouds, phosphorescence in the sea. "The Navigators" began training as soon as they were weened and had to memorize thousands of factors to enable then to reach islands that their ancestors had been traveling to for generations. This book is a great source for both scholars and sailors. However; be warned that if you don't have some knowledge of sailing and navigation you may not fully appreciate "We, the Navigators"

5.0 out of 5 stars A rare delight for a yachtsman...., 3 Dec 1996
By A Customer
.. this book tells you how the stone age polynesians navigated in the vast Pacific. The reseach is immaculate: Mr. Lewis found the last indigenous navigators, learned their techniques and sailed with them. This book is almost the sole document of the greatest navigators in history, and so wonderfully written that you forget it is a scientific work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book, 14 Mar 2009
By T. GOOLEY (Chichester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a researcher and teacher in the field of non-instrument navigation I have read a lot of books about the history of pacific navigation. This book stands out very clearly as a brilliant work. It is recommended reading on all my courses.
