Synopsis
Newbery Medal Winner Readers today are still fascinated by "Nat," an eighteenth-century nautical wonder and mathematical wizard. Nathaniel Bowditch grew up in a sailor's world--Salem in the early days, when tall-masted ships from foreign ports crowded the wharves. But Nat didn't promise to have the makings of a sailor; he was too physically small. Nat may have been slight of build, but no one guessed that he had the persistence and determination to master sea navigation in the days when men sailed only by "log, lead, and lookout." Nat's long hours of study and observation, collected in his famous work, The American Practical Navigator (also known as the "Sailors' Bible"), stunned the sailing community and made him a New England hero., Readers today are still fascinated by Nat, an eighteenth-century nautical wonder and mathematical wizard.

    • Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham (2003)

      I LOVE this book!!! I read it to my boys as part of a Unit Study we did, and it is one of my all-time favorite 'children's books! I actually think it is a great book for various ages, because of the quality of the story and message. It is a wonderfully inspiring biography about a man of amazing talent and intellect, personal character and fortitude who overcame great obsticals from childhood on in persuit of his education and purposes. I highly recommend it... for everyone!!! ~ Sheri
