The Illustrated Longitude – The true story of a Lone Genius who solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of his time – Dava Sobel & William JH Andrews

“As much a tale of intrigue as it is of science….

A book full of gems for anyone interested in history, geography, astronomy, navigation, clockmaking, and

— not the least — plain old human ambition and greed.”

— Philadelphia Inquirer

“Nearly perfect prose and a magnificent story, an extraordinary book.”

—The Washington Post Book World
