A comb-bound textbook/workbook praised by The Practical Sailor as "a first-class piece of work", Susan Howell's Practical Celestial Navigation was developed for Mystic Seaport's navigation courses. This third edition, published by the Seaport's Planetarium, retains the step-by-step format of the original, along with an abundance of diagrams and practice problems. Practical Celestial Navigation is recommended as a self-instruction text for beginners or for old celestial hands getting back in practice.

Industry Reviews

"A first-class piece of work. You have the rare gift of being able to say something simply and of taking the simple things one at a time so the development of the total concept seems to grow."

"I appreciate the amount of work that must go into a book of this type and the difficulty in deciding what to include--particularly when it may be used by diverse groups ranging from the novice to the experienced navigator--each with a unique viewpoint. With this in mind, I must commend you for a fine job. I think you have maintained a nice balance of material and the format is excellent."

"Practical Celestial Navigation is an excellent text for classroom instruction. We have been using it in our celestial navigation courses at Mystic Seaport since it was first published in 1979. It has many clear, helpful diagrams and an abundance of practice problems. Correct answers, which are supplied for checking the practice problems, combined with the many sample problems, make this book a good choice for self-instruction by the diligent student. The text is designed for use with sight reduction tables, H.O. 229, Volume 3."

"Practical Celestial Navigation is certainly one of the best illustrated books of its kind."
