From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret World of Weather and The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs, learn to tap into nature and notice the hidden clues all around you Before GPS, before the compass, and even before cartography, humankind was navigating. Now this singular guide helps us rediscover what our ancestors long understood—that a windswept tree, the depth of a puddle, or a trill of birdsong can help us find our way, if we know what to look and listen for. Adventurer and navigation expert Tristan Gooley unlocks the directional clues hidden in the sun, moon, stars, clouds, weather patterns, lengthening shadows, changing tides, plant growth, and the habits of wildlife. Rich with navigational anecdotes collected across ages, continents, and cultures, The Natural Navigator will help keep you on course and open your eyes to the wonders, large and small, of the natural world.

The Way North tells the story of a young man who decides to embark on a perilous journey to the United States of America after leaving his home country, just like many Central American migrants who have left everything behind. They have traveled with their family to pursue the American dream, which for many becomes a real nightmare on the hostile journey aboard the railroad that crosses Mexican territory from south to north, nicknamed the BEAST. This train is famous for carrying thousands of emigrants who have their eyes set on the southern border of the United States of America. It's an exciting tale with many adventures, dangers, and dramas, but also featuring faith, courage, tenacity, and conviction. Adonay Contreras THE WAY NORTH.
