The SAS Tracking & Navigation Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Maybe a lifesaver, definitely a fun read.
Review: This book gives numerous methods of how to locate your position in the field. Maybe not as technical as some would like but a good first book on the subject. My own view is that the methods given are simple enough that I would likely recall them if I was a nearly panicking person lost in the wild. If you don't know much about tracking and navigation it could be a fun page-turner initiation on the subject. As a scriptwriter looking for a good orientation I found it to be quite helpful.

Summary: This Book Is Definitely OFF Track!!!
Review: This book was a big disappointment for me. I bought this title for the tracking information and only received maybe twenty pages out of a book of 192 pages! I know when I bough the book it would have a good portion dedicated to navigation, but why not call the book 'Navigation and Tracking' or take tracking out of the title. Well as far as the content on navigation it is quite good, the tracking section just seems to be a regurgitation of Bob Carss book 'SAS Guide to Tracking' which I recommend over this title for tracking.
