“Personally, I would rather die walking than die of boredom reading about how to walk safely.”

Do you know how to find your way in the world without a GPS? Can you look at the clouds after lunch and know if it will rain or not? Can you tell the prevailing wind direction from looking at a tree? Tristan Gooley knows how and he share his knowledge in the books he’s written to make nature’s signs accessible to all people.

After listening to Tristan Gooley speak on a podcast about how to tell the weather by watching the clouds, I went and put his books on hold with my local library. In Natural Navigator, he delves into how to travel about a countryside and read clues about the area and where to go by the nature around you. In The Lost Art of Reading Nature Signs, he takes the reader through different natural phenomenon and what that tells you about time, weather or location. 

Anyone interesting in nature or just learning more about the world would enjoy his books. I plan to buy his books and add them to my bookshelf. The next one I’m waiting on is The Secret World of Weather.
