Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The thorniest scientific problem of the 18th century was how to determine longitude. Many thousands of lives had been lost at sea over the centuries due to the inability to determine an east-west position. This is the engrossing story of the clockmaker, John "Longitude" Harrison, who solved the problem that Newton and Galileo had failed to conquer, yet claimed only half the promised rich reward. --Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Financial Times
Dava Sobel has written a gem of a book...one of the best reads for the non-scientific writing to come along for many a moon." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
