Getting One's Bearings: Observations For Direction And Distance is a book written by Alexander McKenzie in 1903. The book is a collection of observations and insights on the topic of finding direction and distance, both literally and metaphorically. The author draws on his experiences as a traveler and explorer, as well as his knowledge of history and literature, to provide practical advice and philosophical musings on the importance of knowing where one is going in life. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different aspect of navigation and orientation. Topics include the use of maps and compasses, the role of intuition and observation, the influence of culture and tradition on our sense of direction, and the challenges of finding one's way in unfamiliar terrain or situations. Throughout the book, McKenzie emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and self-awareness in navigating life's challenges. He encourages readers to trust their instincts, to embrace uncertainty and change, and to cultivate a sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around them. Overall, Getting One's Bearings is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the human desire for direction and purpose, and the various ways we can find our way in an ever-changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
