Synopsis

Navigation Records explores how ancient civilizations navigated the seas, connecting cultures and shaping global interactions. It delves into early exploration by examining ancient maps, maritime logs, and travel accounts. Discover how celestial navigation and dead reckoning were employed without modern technology, and understand the socio-economic drivers behind hazardous voyages of discovery.

 
The book reveals that the evolution of navigation was more than just technological advancement; it was driven by economic needs, political ambitions, and cultural curiosity. For instance, the voyages of Zheng He and Polynesian migrations illustrate the global reach achieved through pre-modern navigation techniques.

 
Structured in three parts, Navigation Records first analyzes early mapping and navigation methods. It then examines specific voyages using primary sources, and concludes by analyzing the consequences, including global trade and cultural exchange. This approach offers a detailed view of maritime history and its impact.

    Read by the author. 
    Even though technology makes us more "connected" than ever, we still hunger for authentic relationships--with the natural world, our creator, and one another. But how do we find them, especially when we’ve lost touch with many of the foundational rhythms that draw us together? 
    The Kindred Life is a rallying cry for real connection in a time when we need to re­capture what's been lost. In this collection of stories, photos, and recipes from her home on Kindred Farm in Santa Fe, Tennessee, sustainable farmer Christine Bailey shares both the beautiful and gritty moments as she grew from a hopeful urban gardener to co-owner of a farm full of produce, bees, chickens, and flowers that provides meaningful experiences for friends, family, and hundreds of guests each year. 
    Kindred means "tribe" or "family," and at the center of The Kindred Life is an invita­tion to pursue the experiences that unite us, like spending time in the dirt, slowing down, and joining in a simple meal under the stars. We were all created with the ability to carve out a life of connection, and it's worth every bit of sweat it takes to get there. We can slow down. We can step forward in bravery to do hard things well. And we can be intentional about gathering with and investing in others. 
    Discover the beauty of community, the magic of coming together around the table, and the lessons the land can teach you as you unearth your very own Kindred Life--right where you are. 
    Recipes and reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
