Mastering Natural Navigation: Read Nature’s Signs for Guidance

“The Sherlock Holmes of nature.”―BBC
Turn every walk into a game of detection―with master outdoorsman Tristan Gooley, New York Times–bestselling author of How to Read a Tree and The Natural Navigator
“The world’s least lost wanderer. . . . Tristan’s forever stopping, examining, trying to solve the riddles that nature sets in front of him.”―Smithsonian

When writer and navigator Tristan Gooley journeys outside, he sees a natural world filled with clues. The roots of a tree indicate the sun’s direction; the Big Dipper tells the time; a passing butterfly hints at the weather; a sand dune reveals prevailing wind; the scent of cinnamon suggests altitude; a budding flower points south. To help you understand nature as he does, Gooley shares more than 850 tips for forecasting, tracking, and more, gathered from decades spent walking the landscape around his home and around the world. Whether you’re walking in the country or city, along a coastline, or by night, this is the ultimate resource on what the land, sun, moon, stars, plants, animals, and clouds can reveal―only if you know how to look!
