Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Neuware - Those thin brown lines are telling you everything. Learn to read them. A topographic map shows far more than where things are. It shows the shape of the land itself: how high, how steep, where the water runs and what lies between you and the place you want to reach. To most people it looks like a tangle. This book untangles it, from zero, in small steps, with a picture for almost every idea. What you will learn- How contour lines work, and how to see hills, valleys, ridges, saddles, spurs, draws and cliffs in them- How to read the height of any point and judge the steepness of any slope- The rule of Vs: which way a stream flows and how to tell a valley from a ridge- How to draw a profile and check whether you can see one point from another- Scale, bar scales and measuring real trail distance- Grid references made simple: right, then up- True north, grid north, magnetic north and declination without the confusion- How to take a bearing from the map, follow it on the ground, and estimate your position- Route planning with handrails, attack points and catching features, plus realistic time estimatesBuilt for practice More than 50 maps and diagrams illustrate the lessons. Twelve practice maps include 66 questions and worked answers, with guidance on reasonable estimates and measurement tolerances. A quick reference section and a glossary are included. For US and international readers The teaching examples combine US-style maps in feet and miles with five practice maps that use metric contour intervals. A chapter introduces common national map series and explains what to check on an unfamiliar map. Who it is for Hikers, backpackers, hunters, scouts, trail runners, search and rescue volunteers, cadets preparing for land navigation, geography and earth science students, and anyone who wants to stop following a blue dot and start understanding the ground. Every map in this book shows invented terrain and is for learning only. …
