  1. 1. Wayfinding

    A lively blend of travel writing, science and history that examines how humans and other animals navigate the world, tracing the biology, neuroscience and cultural practices behind wayfinding; the author mixes field reporting, interviews and experiments to show how landmarks, stars, smell and internal maps guide movement, how modern technologies reshape these abilities, and what navigation reveals about memory, identity and our relationship to place.
