Find your way by nature's hidden clues

Before GPS, before the compass, and even before cartography, we found our way by outdoor clues hiding in plain sight. A windswept tree, the depth of a puddle, or a trill of birdsong could point the way home, and they still do—if you know how to look. Writer and navigator Tristan Gooley invites us to notice the directional signs hidden all around us: in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, weather patterns, lengthening shadows, changing tides, growing plants, and habits of wildlife. This modern classic reminds us that we can find south by joining the horns of the crescent moon—and find adventure in our own backyards.
