Attached you will find a pdf file with the comments I have on the [Bauer] book.
That's quite a body of well-researched criticism, Nicolàs. It occurs to me that you may be uniquely well-qualified to write the definitive history of early navigational devices. Perhaps you should consider doing so.
Of course once you've created that magnum opus, a lasting testament to your carefully researched interest and a boon to all who might be interested in the subject, this unappreciative world could well amuse itself by picking your carefully constructed work to pieces. Going through it with a fine-tooth comb and marvelling at all your mistakes. Of such is fame.
