Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a simplified guide to nautical science for both navigators and general readers. Starting with the basics of spherical geometry and Earth science, the author explains the principles of astronomy and timekeeping necessary for celestial navigation. By using the positions of celestial bodies, the author explains how mariners find their latitude and longitude on the open seas. The book includes detailed explanations of the tides and tidal currents. Starting with the simple concept of the Moon's pull on the tides, the author explains the complex systems that determine real-world tides. These concepts are illustrated with maps of co-tidal lines and co-current lines, which show the rate and direction the tide moves around the globe. The author, Charles Lane Poor, was a respected professor of astronomy at Columbia University. He was also an expert navigator and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. His writing is non-technical and accessible, even to readers with no background in science. His explanations are clear and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for sailors, students, and anyone else interested in learning about the history and science of navigation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
