Product Description
Back in the eighteenth century countless lives and great fortunes were lost at sea because sailors were lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land--no one knew how to measure longitude.
Bestselling author Dava Sobel (Galileo's Daughter) tells the engrossing story of one man's forty year obsession with solving a problem that once seemed impossible.
