Book Review: Longitude


This combination of great writing and gripping story makes for a book that everyone should read. Clearly and concisely, Dava Sobel has explained difficult ideas in a way that makes them understandable to every reader. Just as John Harrison took the secret of longitude and locked it in a pocket watch, Dava Sobel has taken one of the most important stories of science and locked it in Longitude.
