{"product_id":"simple-celestial-chris-kreitlein-9781497418912","title":"Simple Celestial: Navigation by the Heavens Made Easy","description":"Simple Celestial is an instructional manual on the art of celestial navigation. The manual is clear, succinct and thorough in presenting in a simple style the process of observing the Sun, Moon, planets and stars used in celestial navigation in order to derive a position fix any where in the world. The process of celestial navigation as presented in the manual uses an assumed position to derive an intercept that is the basis for a line of position from the heavenly body. Additionally, the manual explains the alternate method of observing the Sun at local apparent noon for a position fix. Using either method and with the appropriate supporting tools, the student will find the manual an excellent guide in completing the sight reduction form to arrive at a solution. The manual deliberately relegates theory to a small chapter in the back, concentrating rather on the practical aspects of celestial navigation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Kreitlein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1497418917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781497418912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Chris Kreitlein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936398999807,"sku":"9781497418912","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9a88ad39-b7e2-4096-9482-9aa0e36619cb.jpg?v=1681425324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/simple-celestial-chris-kreitlein-9781497418912","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
