YOU ARE HERE From the Compass to GPS, the History and Future of How We Find Ourselves

The author navigates the history of location methods from the ancient to the modern world and how they have changed societies. Narrator Jonathan Yen navigates a text that is a bit complicated and weighed down by visual concepts and references. Bray provides a panoramic scope of how we got to the world today and the essential role of navigation--for good and for bad. Yen's lively, enthusiastic voice makes a significant difference in the listening experience. His tone keeps listeners engaged as he delivers the facts and anecdotes, making the former meaningful with a useful balancing of emphasis and tone and the latter engaging.
