Excerpt from Self-Instruction in the Practice and Theory of Navigation, Vol. 1 of 2
There are many books on Navigation available for the use of the student, and among them some are exceedingly good. Why, then, add yet another volume to a mass of literature already sufficiently, and more than sufficiently, large? Well, it seemed to me that for many reasons another work designed on somewhat novel principles might be useful. Most writers have treated the subject from the point of view of addressing themselves either to the highly educated or to the totally uneducated, and there is, I think, room for a treatise designed to meet the requirements of those who lie between the two extremes men who, while ignorant of mathematics and astronomy, possess intelligence and a certain amount of rudimentary knowledge.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to the art and science of navigation, written for those who may not have a formal education in mathematics or astronomy. Recognizing that navigating by the stars requires knowledge of complex mathematical and astronomical principles, yet is practiced by individuals without such training, the author aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice. He acknowledges the challenging conditions under which sailors must often work their navigational problems, and emphasizes the need for simplified formulas that can be easily remembered and applied. The book aims to demystify the complexities of navigation, providing a conversational approach that illuminates the reasoning behind the formulas and demystifies the underlying scientific principles. Through clear explanations and practical examples, the author equips the reader with the necessary skills for understanding the fundamental concepts of navigation, from calculating a day's work to determining latitude and longitude, and even delving into the mysteries of lunar observations. This book's unique blend of practicality and theoretical understanding makes it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to master the art of navigation.
