I read Longitude when it first came out, and I was really impressed. I devoured it! And then just after that, we had a chance to be in the UK, so I took a trip to Greenwich. Perfect.

I had hoped that Longitude would get more consideration. It's an excellent book, and lends itself to quick reading, without being superficial.
