A New York Times Bestseller, a Forbes Top 10 Conservation and Environment Book of  2016 Read the sea like a Viking and  interpret ponds like a Polynesian-with a little help from the  "natural navigator"! In his eye-opening books The Lost Art of  Reading Nature's Signs and The Natural Navigator,  Tristan Gooley helped readers reconnect with nature by finding direction from  the trees, stars, clouds, and more. Now, he turns his attention to our most  abundant-yet perhaps least understood-resource. Distilled from his far-flung  adventures-sailing solo across the Atlantic, navigating with Omani  tribespeople, canoeing in Borneo, and walking in his own  backyard-Gooley shares hundreds of techniques in How to  Read Water. Readers will: - Find north using  puddles - Forecast the weather from  waves - Decode the colors of ponds - Spot  dangerous water in the dark - Decipher wave patterns on  beaches, and more!
