From the New York Timesâbestselling author of How to Read a Tree and The Lost Art of Reading Natureâs Signs, rediscover nature by noticing the hidden clues all around you
âA truly vital book for any outdoor adventurer.ââCabin Life
âOne of the most skilled navigators on the planet.ââSmithsonian
Before GPS, before the compass, and even before cartography, humankind was navigating. A windswept tree, the depth of a puddle, or a trill of birdsong could point the way home, and they still doâif you know how to look.
With The Natural Navigator, his first book, Tristan Gooley invited us to notice the directional clues hidden all around: in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, weather patterns, lengthening shadows, changing tides, growing plants, and habits of wildlife. A decade after publication, this modern classic still reminds us that we can find south by joining the horns of the crescent moonâand find adventure in our own backyards.
