Book Subtitle | Learn To Find Direction, Sense Danger And Even Guess Nature's Next Move--Faster Than Thought |
Book Description | "A captivating guide to finding one's way in the wild."--The Wall Street Journal
Publisher's note: The Nature Instinct was published in the UK under the title Wild Signs and Star Paths.
Master outdoorsman Tristan Gooley was just about to make camp when he sensed danger--but couldn't say why. After sheltering elsewhere, Gooley returned to investigate: What had set off his subconscious alarm?
Suddenly, he understood: All of the tree trunks were slightly bent. The ground had already shifted once and could easily become treacherous in a storm.
The Nature Instinct shows how we, too, can unlock this intuitive understanding of our surroundings. Learn to sense the forest's edge from deep in the woods, or whether a wild animal might pose danger--before you even know how you know. |
