For my Goodreads followers who just saw me give a 5 star review that are often sparse on my shelves, please read on.
Captain Singleton, Ph.D, won me over with his Foreword in that while this is the second edition, it has been tailored to individuals who have too heavy of a reliance on GPS navigation systems and other types of technology to get around. With my own personal experiences of interacting with individuals who are terrible with directions, I applauded his logic in how he presented us with a simplistic workbook of compass training and map reading that is great for today’s technology-reliant traveler to learn from. Plus, who writes a dedication to Napoleon? C’mon-that’s awesome.
Chapters include graphics, drawings and examples that allow you to monitor your progress, but the only downside would be the reader needing to have dedication to learning compassing, which if you picked up this book, I’d make the safe assumption that you are already that motivated. Not every chapter needs to be completed though (especially if you aren’t planning a nautical voyage).
I received this book from Atlantic Publishing Group for my honest, unbiased opinion.

May 13, 2019No I don't mean to write a review but I cannot seem to remove it from GR without doing so. It wasn't worthy of a review !
I t was somewhere between zero and 3.9 stars
