Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Born to Explore is filled with skills, projects, and essential knowledge for the budding adventurer
Explorer extraordinaire Richard Wiese's more than one hundred excellent projects show how to have fun with science and nature, how to not always take the most walked path, and how to learn to "read" the natural world. Discovery does not occur just in the Amazon or deep in the ocean. It happens everywhere around us:
Navigate by the stars, Tell time without a watch, Start a fire without a match, Make an igloo, Build your own canoe, And be prepared for any challenge.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [325]-336) and index.
