How to Go Anywhere (Without Getting Lost)

From journalist and adventurer extraordinaire Hans Asheim, here's a lively, interactive book that gets kids out of the house and teaches them great navigation techniques to use while hiking, camping, or just exploring their backyard or nearby park.
With vibrant, full-color illustrations and full-color photos throughout, How to Go Anywhere (and Not Get Lost) combines fascinating history with fun, hands-on activities that bring important science, geography, and astronomy concepts to life. Readers will discover explorers and the tools they developed through the ages: from the ancient Polynesians who made stick charts to learn swell patterns in the water and navigate accurate courses across the ocean; to the Age of Exploration navigators who used compasses and maps to reach the New World; to modern pilots who use radar and GPS to fly across continents. Kids will also learn skills like determining their bearings with a compass; finding their way by dead reckoning; and best of all: 17 activities—like making a syllogistic, compass, stick chart, foil log, and more—will turn all little adventurers into little navigators.
