FINDING NORTH How Navigation Makes Us Human

The author’s frustrating experiences with getting lost are read with hearty, modest humor by Tom Zingarelli. Being lost is frightening, Foy tells listeners up front. Even getting around the house takes a lot of small calculations most people aren’t aware of. Foy is planning to locate the wreckage of a ship off Norway in which an ancestor died. As he considers the trip, he also ruminates on navigation. Zingarelli’s good-natured reading blends well with Foy's exploration of topics like the Air Force's GPS secrets and the London cabbies' renowned memory test. Foy's journey is personal, entertaining, and informative; listeners will enjoy coming along for the ride. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2016]
