I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but the tags "longitude", "dava" and "sobel" must refer to this book. I haven't read it, but the blurb says
| Quote: | | The thorniest scientific problem of the eighteenth 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. |
BTW, if anyone cares, I'm skawjw on the "list." I'm having a hard time catching up with what's happened, though. |
