Apie šią el. knygą

Indigenous Navigation illuminates the sophisticated, often overlooked navigational systems developed by indigenous cultures worldwide. Challenging conventional narratives, the book highlights the profound understanding of celestial navigation, environmental interpretation, and oral cartography that enabled remarkable feats of exploration. Consider how ancient mariners used subtle cues like wind patterns and animal migrations, combined with knowledge of stars, to traverse vast oceans. Or, how oral traditions served as living maps, passing down crucial geographic information across generations. This book explores how these systems represent a holistic knowledge base, deeply intertwined with cultural values and spiritual beliefs.

Moving beyond mere technical descriptions, it examines specific geographical regions, such as the Pacific Islands and the Arctic, showcasing how indigenous populations ingeniously utilized local resources and knowledge. By emphasizing the interconnectedness of indigenous knowledge with Earth sciences, geography, and history, the book demonstrates its enduring relevance.

The book progresses from introducing core components of indigenous navigation to detailed regional explorations, culminating in an argument for its global prevalence and potential contribution to contemporary challenges. Indigenous Navigation is valuable for anyone interested in history, geography, or anthropology, and seeks to promote a more inclusive and accurate understanding of human history, environmental sustainability, and cultural diversity.
