Emergency Navigation

2005 Note. In the twenty years now that this book has been published, we have not learned of techniques or principles that should be in it that aren't, nor do we have any reason to believe that anything in it is wrong - which we are happy to report (knock-on-wood.wav) since this book took some six years to produce.
