Aeronautics. Astronautics. And now Terranautics. What’s that? If aeronautics is the art of piloting and astronautics that of flying in space, terranautics concerns navigating the waters of life here on earth. The word is made up of terra, Latin for earth, and nautike, Greek for seamanship (from nautes, sailor)…Navigating the seas of life is not for the faint of heart. Jesus, who calmed the angry waters, could also walk on them. St. Peter, the rock on whom Jesus would build his church, sank. Rocks after all don’t do well in water. This book is meant as a handbook for living, a guide to the basics for navigating an uncertain future. ​
  • “A distillation of both ancient and modern wisdom. And a delightful read to boot! Obviously, this Feldman fellow has been navigating this little blue planet for a long time and harvesting the basics as he traveled.” (Dr. Loren Ekroth, Editor, Conversation Matters)
  • “Very much enjoyed this book. Lots of wisdom backed up by tons of references (I love being able to click on a reference and start reading the reference right now). Reynold has the background and knowledge to put together this project. I only hope that different generations read and reflect on this blueprint for the 21st Century.” (Fredrick Branchflower, retired Naval officer)
​“Kudos to this inspiring author who has distilled the wisdom of the ages and his own years of conscious living in Terranautics 101. This book is a delightfully insightful guide, grounded in theory and practice, to navigating our lives and our planet into a promising future.” (Dr. Linda E. Nishigaya, Professor of Sociology Emerita, University of Hawaii)
