Polynesian Navigation made Understandable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This was an excellent book describing how a person taught himself how to navigate using the methods of the ancient Polynesians. If you are interested in how the Polynesians knew there were the islands of Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific and how they navigated to them you will enjoy reading this book. Excellent book on people observing nature and learning to use the observations to accomplish a goal.
