The Nature Instinct: Learn to Find Direction, Sense Danger, and Even Guess Nature's Next Move--Faster Than Thought

From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Secret World of Weather and The Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs, learn to notice nature's hidden clues all around you

"A captivating guide to finding one's way in the wild."--The Wall Street Journal

Publisher's note: The Nature Instinct was published in the UK under the title Wild Signs and Star Paths.

Master outdoorsman Tristan Gooley was just about to make camp when he sensed danger--but couldn't say why. After sheltering elsewhere, Gooley returned to investigate: What had set off his subconscious alarm?

Suddenly, he understood: All of the tree trunks were slightly bent. The ground had already shifted once and could easily become treacherous in a storm.

The Nature Instinct shows how we, too, can unlock this intuitive understanding of our surroundings. Learn to sense the forest's edge from deep in the woods, or whether a wild animal might pose danger--before you even know how you know.
