Publisher's Notes
Here is a basic, beginner's book, introducing the tyro to the tools, the vocabulary, and the techniques of celestial navigation. Among the recommended tools are the H.O. 249 tables, the most widely used among amateur navigators at sea, because of their simplicity. If you can read, add and subtract, understand angles, and use a protractor, you can learn to navigate in your armchair or at sea from Celestial Navigation by H.O. 249.

Dutton's Nautical Navigation
by Benjamin Dutton
Last revised in 1985, the long-lived seafarers' reference adds 21st century technology to traditional techniques to cover all phases of surface navigation. Originally written for midshipmen at the US Naval Academy, the current text is also intended for merchant mariners, recreational boaters, and navigational neophytes. Revising author Cutler (strategy and policy, Naval War College) takes a conversational tone and makes use of many examples, mnemonics, step-by-step explanations, and diagrams "to empower the reader in the use of such things as geodesy, spherical trigonometry, and hydrodynamics without becoming overly immersed in them." Oversize: 9x11.25 . Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Celestial Navigation for Yachtsmen
by Mary Blewitt
There is deep mystery and profound satisfaction in finding your position on earth by reference to the sun, moon, and stars--not to mention profound relief when the GPS receiver stops working in mid-passage. That is why knowledge of celestial navigation is still a rite of initiation, and its practice still a favorite pastime among serious cruisers.
Marine Navigation
by Richard R. Hobbs
The standard navigation textbook at the U.S. Naval Academy and NROTC college programs for twenty-five years, this highly regarded reference has trained more than two generations of students on the practice of marine navigation in the U.S. Navy. All aspects of the duties, practices, and responsibilities of the Navy surface navigator at sea are covered. Long praised for its clarity and thoroughness, the text has now been revised and updated to reflect the latest changes in marine navigation technology and government publications. In this fourth edition all sight forms reflect those now in use in the U.S. fleet. Also included is new summary information on currently available computer navigation applications programs and new information on world geodesy and global positioning systems. Appendixes present the most important pages of Chart No. 1 and selected tables from the American Practical Navigator (Bowditch). Also available is the Marine Navigation Workbook, a chapter-by-chapter compendium of supplemental queries and problems designed to assist the student to master the material presented in the textbook -- complete with a handy three-ring binder. An appendix provides complete answers and solutions to all odd-numbered problems along with plotting sheets and forms. A new Instructor's Answer Key is available to bona fide instructors.
