- Abstract
- Turn every walk into a game of detection. When writer and navigator Tristan Gooley journeys outside, he sees a natural world filled with clues. The roots of a tree indicate the sun's direction; the Big Dipper tells the time; a passing butterfly hints at the weather; a sand dune reveals prevailing wind; the scent of cinnamon suggests altitude; a budding flower points south. To help you understand nature as he does, Gooley shares more than 850 tips for forecasting, tracking, and more, gathered from decades spent walking the landscape around his home and around the world. Whether you're walking in the country or city, along a coastline, or by night, this is the ultimate resource on what the land, sun, moon, stars, plants, animals, and clouds can reveal - if you only know how to look!

- Description
- A well-worn, light brown, felt cowboy hat with a crease in the the crown and a turned-up brim on both sides. The sweatband is missing, in its stead are the remnants of thread and glue with holes punched in at intervals where a cord is threaded through so the hat will stay on the head. There is an oval of white glue on the inside crown where a label may have been. There is also the remnants of a paper label from Smithbilt hats (2.3x1.0cm wide) in white with blue outline and lettering “BILT”. There are three brands marked on the hat: Albert Johnston’s, on the back, of an “R and half-circle” (2.4cm); from the front, viewer’s right, a “Y” (3.2x3.0cm wide) with a straight line underneath (the threaded gold cord is tied directly under this); on the opposite side, viewer’s left, is a drawing of a broken ski pole (2.5x2.8cm wide) that is Erling Strom’s brand. There are chew marks on the brim, a large one 6.0 long and up to 1.0cm deep, 4.0cm to the left of this is another chew mark 0.50cm and a tear 1.0cm.
