Description: Read the sea like a Viking and interpret ponds like a Polynesian—with a little help from expert navigator Tristan Gooley, New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret World of Weather and The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs
In his eye-opening books The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs and The Natural Navigator, Tristan Gooley helped readers reconnect with nature by finding direction from the trees, stars, clouds, and more. Now, he turns his attention to our most abundant—yet perhaps least understood—resource.
Distilled from his far-flung adventures—sailing solo across the Atlantic, navigating with Omani tribespeople, canoeing in Borneo, and walking in his own backyard—Gooley shares hundreds of techniques in How to Read Water. Readers will:
- Find north using puddles
- Forecast the weather from waves
- Decode the colors of ponds
- Spot dangerous water in the dark
- Decipher wave patterns on beaches, and more!
Additional info: TRISTAN GOOLEY, writer, navigator, and explorer, is also the author of The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs and The Natural Navigator. Through his journeys, teaching, and writing, he has pioneered a renaissance in the rare art of natural navigation. Tristan has led expeditions in five continents and climbed
mountains in Europe, Africa, and Asia. He has explored close to home and walked with and studied the methods of tribal peoples in some of the remotest regions on Earth, and is the only living person to have both flown solo and sailed
single-handedly across the Atlantic.
