O’Connor's book "Wayfinding: The Science and Mystery of How Humans Navigate the World". At first sight, it is a book about three living wayfinding traditions: the Inuit, the Australian Aboriginal, and the Polynesian. Not little of the charm of the book is owed to the opportunity to have a glimpse into these old ways, and to meet personally some of their representatives, like Solomon Awa and Bill Harney. It is enlightening, from our urban “overmapped” existence, to learn about them and their likes, who are so intimately attuned to their environment that the mere possibility of getting lost is inconceivable. You can tell this is a good travel book because it makes you long for distant places and cultures.
