Dutton's Nautical Navigation 15th Edition by Thomas J. Cutler

To meet the varied needs of today’s recreational, naval, and commercial navigations the Naval Institute Press has produced this new edition of a classic reference used by seafarers around the world for more than three-quarters of a century. As paper navigational charts were replaced by vector images on computer screens, magnetic compass enhanced by digital flux gate technology, and chronometers joined by atomic clocks, an extensive update became necessary, and the result is this unparalleled treatment of the art and science of nautical navigation. The first revision in more than a decade, it is written for both amateur and veteran navigators. Here the traditional navigation techniques first century to cover all phases of surface navigation. While the book continues to assist navigators using sextants, it also helps readers take full advantage of man-made Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. Valued as both an indispensable quick reference and a comprehensive text, Dutton’s makes accessible such difficult subjects as spherical trigonometry using step-by-step explanations and practical examples. To ensure accuracy and relevancy, a board of experts that included naval and coast guard officers, merchant mariners, harbor pilots, and sea service academy professors, among others, carefully reviewed all revisions.
