Beschreibung

"Brave Ocean Crossings" presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of maritime navigation, exploring how humans have conquered the world's oceans from ancient times to the present day. This comprehensive work bridges historical navigation methods with modern technology, examining everything from primitive Polynesian stick charts to sophisticated GPS systems. The book uniquely combines technical expertise with compelling storytelling, making complex navigational concepts accessible to both maritime enthusiasts and scholarly readers.

 
The narrative unfolds across three distinct sections, beginning with historical navigation techniques that showcase human ingenuity in early ocean exploration. The middle section traces the technological evolution of navigation tools, from basic astrolabes to modern electronic systems, highlighting how each innovation built upon previous discoveries. Finally, the book explores remarkable ocean crossings, including Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition and Sir Francis Chichester's solo circumnavigation, demonstrating how these achievements advanced our understanding of maritime navigation.

 
Through a blend of historical research, technical analysis, and practical applications, the book serves as both an academic resource and a practical guide for modern sailors. It draws from extensive primary sources, including ship logs and meteorological records, while addressing contemporary challenges such as the balance between traditional and electronic navigation methods. The work's interdisciplinary approach, combining maritime history with meteorology and astronomy, offers readers a comprehensive understanding of how humans have mastered ocean navigation across generations.

Joe Roberts stayed for five months with the Trivedis family in Bangalore, while travelling all over southern India. In Pondicherry he found Rita, a melancholic divorcee banished to an ashram. He saw the great temple at Madurai, watched the snakeboat races at Arunmala, stayed with Syriac Christians at Cochin and was offered heroin in a Jewish cemetery. Wherever he went he met extraordinary people, but these encounters take second place to his ripening friendship with the Trivedi family, and his exact chronicling of their neighbours. As Major Trividi warned him 'nothing is as fixed as you think'. Three-Quarters of a Footprint has long fascinated readers with its gentle, perceptive humour, chilled occasionally by a shadow of menace, as if the spirit and wit of R K Narayan had been reborn in an Englishman.
