Notă biografică
David Barrie was for many years in the Diplomatic Service, and has held many distinguished posts since then. He is a passionate and dedicated sailor and was inspired to write this book in homage to the remarkable people who brought celestial navigation to perfection, and to the generations of mariners who put the sextant to such good use in charting the world's oceans. He lives in West London.

Recenzii
“As lovingly and painstakingly constructed as the navigators’ one irreplaceable talisman, David Barrie’s exquisite book is a hymn to a now-vanishing feature of maritime life, a finely-chased reminder of just how much we all owe to that one small piece of apparatus” — SIMON WINCHESTER, author of the New York Times bestselling The Men Who United the States and The Professor and the Madman
“Beneath the book’s calm surface churns a melancholic message about how the comfort of technology — symbolized by the sextant’s almighty antagonist, GPS — has turned our gaze away from the stars.” — Entertainment Weekly
“Even for armchair adventurers with no sea legs to speak of, Barrie’s Sextant is a compelling read.” — Shelf Awareness
