Longitude : The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


I am not a scientific minded person. But I do love history so this really fascinated me only because I wanted to know why it was so important. This is a great tale of a man on a mission who would not give up or give in to any one. This guy was a genius. Read it to just enjoy his story or to learn the science behind know longitude in an age when clocks were the only high tech devices around.
