Daumensprung und Jakobsstab - Outdoor Basixx

<p>How wide is the river? How deep is the gorge? Will we still be able to reach this mountain? Answering these questions as accurately as possible can be vital in the wild. Estimating heights, depths, distances and distances is quite difficult, even with a lot of practice and experience, and you often make a huge mistake. With a few tricks and a little geometry, however, you can achieve quite reasonable, relatively accurate measurements. This OutdoorHandbook covers common but also little-known methods of indirect measurement of distances, heights, depths and angles. All measurements can be carried out with or without very simple technical aids. The methods are simple, yet scientifically accurate. For an excellent understanding, the theoretical basis and practical application of each method is explained. Numerous illustrations supplement the text and make it easier to understand. Anecdotes made from the history of science round off the topic. And even if measuring without a tape measure is (hopefully) not usually a matter of bare survival, it is always an interesting diversion on hikes.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Wolfgang Regal | Conrad Stein Verlag | 3rd edition 2008 | 90 pages | 31 color illustrations, 40 partly color illustrations | format 16.5 x 11.5 cm | paperback</span></p>
