Year: 2003 Language: english Author: Thomas J. Cutler Genre: Practical guide Publisher: Naval Institute Press Edition: 15th (December 7, 2003) ISBN: 9781557502483 Format: PDF Quality: Unknown Pages count: 462 Description: This updated edition is an invaluable reference tome that follows a 78-year history of providing aid to navigators the world over. This 15th publication elucidates on piloting, current sailing methods, radio navigation. electronic charts, the Global Positioning System and bathymetric, Doppler and polar navigation, as well as celestial and inertial navigation and navigational astronomy. A full chapter on time--considered the most important ingredient of navigation--includes apparent vs. mean solar time, the types of time involved in navigation (ephemeral, sidereal, Greenwich Mean and Universal, etc) and the usage of the Nautical Almanac tables for arc-to-time conversions. An exhaustive chapter on ephemeral data follows, which features charts on Nautical and Air Almanac tabulations and calculations and interpolations--actually, so much could be written about this dictionary/encyclopaedia/working reference manual that brevity of summation is virtually impossible. Valued as both an indispensable quick reference and a comprehensive text, Dutton's makes accessible such foreboding subjects as spherical trigonometry through the use of step-by-step explanations and examples that encourage practical use. To insure accuracy and relevancy, a board of experts made up of naval and Coast Guard officers, merchant mariners, accredited harbor pilots, and sea-service academy professors, has carefully reviewed this fifteenth edition. The result is an unparalleled treatment of the art and science of nautical navigation that both amateur and veteran navigators will use to safely navigate the waters of the world.

ggatcs, you need a torrent client in order download the pdf file. You can find in the guide section of this site the step by step procedure to download. Hope this is helpfull for you!
Great book, thank you very much! Have it in hardcover but pretty heavy to keep it around. Never published electronically and could not find as e-book till now. Thanks!
Great release! I've managed to find a version of this one online before, but never complete as it is here. High resolution, good quality scan with aligned pages and (nearly perfect) OCR. Most images and diagrams look flawless, although some with blue colored or lighter tracing may have missing or blurry details. Those may be seen in higher quality in the "alternative" release (pictures of pages) mentioned in the description above. Even though published by the US Naval Institute Press, this book will still be very useful for readers all over the world, including chapters about nautical astronomy covering both hemispheres nicely, and other global phenomena without a heavy focus on North America. Thank you :)
