100 PROBLEMS IN CELESTIAL NAVIGATION
by Leonard Gray
Noted author, Leonard Gray treats
us again with this potpourri of celestial navigation exercises, each designed
around a specific journey; New York to Lisbon, Anchorage to Hilo, and Hungnam
to Akita to name just a few. Each voyage (19 in all) presents not only
realistic celestial observation data from which to work, but also presents
other considerations germane to the type of voyage, which leaves the reader
understanding the thought processes which separate the experienced navigator
from the novice. The data is not all cookbook. All the solutions are not
pretty, but are realistic, causing encounters which impart experience as
well as practice; all the while having Mr. Gray standing just behind you
with a tip or two when the going gets rough. SC, 1992, 120 pages. SW 1
