This book is one you may enjoy - pabrides - 08-11-2018
I usually only read books that are recommended by like-minded folks I trust - especially books which explore the realms of sociology and political science. However, the book I'm recommending is of an entirely different nature. It's written for those curious cerebral gentleman with remembrances of age-old mechanical computers - SLIDE RULEs.
This book endeavors to explain simply and concisely the slide-rule as it applies to air and sea navigation problems. Ive studied about 90 percent of this example-packed book with delight while slipping and sliding my slide-rule until it gets warm in my hand. Although there are some minor errors in the text it is still fantastic good fun.
