Celestial Navigation made understandable

At last, we have a book which will take the place of Mary Blewitt's dated "Celestial Navigation".These men have co-operated to write what will become the bench-mark manual for this subject which they explain in plain simple language.I learned Celestail Navigation using the sun and stars (I learned in that order too!) using this book and have now crossed the Atlantic three times using my sextant as my main navigation instrument - and the GPS as my back-up.There is nothing so satisfying as checking that the GPS is reading correctly using your sextant!
