Extract

Taking the dictionary meaning of society to be the civilized body of mankind – what are the relationships between society and the art or science of navigation? To define navigation itself I have used Wing Commander Anderson's definition of 1961 – ‘Navigation is the business of conducting a craft as it moves about its ways’.
