Clear and in-depth |
| I am sorry that previous reviewers, who really wanted something a lot less that this book offers, have chosen to diss this book because it offers so much. I once picked up a copy of a Henry James novel to take along as a light read on a camping trip. A mistake. But I would not criticize James for not meeting my more limited need. It was my mistake. Anyway, Calder's book is excellent and provides wonderful insight into the difficulties of making charts, and of reading them. Especially insightful on the dangers and values of chartplotters. I consider this an excellent resource for people who really want to understand all that a chart can tell them and also its limits. Excellent, excellent, excellent! |

Forget It ! |
This book is a waste of money. In glancing through it, I couldn't find anything of interest to me or for that matter understandable. And I was a Quartermaster in the Navy Reserve in WW 2!
Fortunately I found another book here that I actually want to study. |

To much info |
| Not a book for beginners. I am a new sailor and wanted a book to help me read charts. Perhaps a good referance book for experienced chart readers who already know how to read charts. I wasted my money and am now looking for a book on how to read charts. |
