Industry Reviews Pivoting on an extended analysis of ship navigation, anthropologist (U. of California) and open-ocean racing sailor Hutchins argues that individuals have cognition separate from that of their culture and the system in which they are acting at a particular moment. He describes the process of bringing a large naval vessel into port, analyzes the individual and collective behavior, compares modern Western navigation with that practiced in Micronesia, and generalizes to the learning or change in the organization of cognitive systems at several scales.
