Humans, Jonsson explains, also possess an intuitive direction frame -- an internal compass -- that keeps these maps oriented (when it functions properly) and a dead-reckoning system that constantly updates our location on the map as we move through the world. Even the most cynical city-dweller will be amazed to learn how much of this innate sense we use every day as we travel across town or around the world.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nBoth a scientific and a human story, \u003ci\u003eInner Navigation\u003c\/i\u003e contains a rich assortment of real-life insights and examples of the navigational challenges we all face, no matter where or how we live.
