SUMMARY:The Last Navigator: A Young Man\, an Ancient Mariner\, the Secre
 ts of the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Steve Thomas is familiar to television viewers as the two-ti
 me Emmy award-winning host of This Old House\, Renovation Nation\, and S
 ave Our History. But he is also an experienced blue water sailor. Beginn
 ing in 1977\, he sailed a 43-foot wooden sloop from England to San Franc
 isco via the Panama Canal\, Galapagos\, Marquesas\, and Hawaii. In the e
 arly 1980’s\, he journeyed to the remote Micronesian island of Satawal
  to learn the ancient technique of star path navigation\, an experience 
 that resulted in this book as well as a documentary for the PBS series A
 dventure.\n\n\n\nThis lecture\, richly illustrated with Steve’s photog
 raphs\, will take us to a remote island in Micronesia into a world of oc
 ean navigation largely unknown to the West\; a world in which the tradit
 ional navigator’s only directional tools are the stars\, the ocean swe
 lls and the flight paths of birds.\n\n\n\nIn 1983 and 1984 Steve Thomas 
 spent eleven months on Satawal Island and in the Western Carolines as an
  apprentice to Mau Piailug\, then one of the last paliuw\, captains full
 y initiated in the Talk of Navigation\, the closely guarded\, ancient pr
 actices around reading the cosmos and the seas.He chronicled his experie
 nces and the navigational techniques in the book "The Last Navigator"\, 
 first published in 1987\, and a documentary film of the same title for P
 BS in 1988. Now some forty years on he has updated the stories with a ne
 w generation of Satawalese islanders in the revised and fully illustrate
 d edition of "The Last Navigator".\n\n\n\nCopies of the book will be ava
 ilable for purchase.
