Book Review: Longitude
Self-educated clockmaker John Harrison stood up against huge opposition when he set his eyes on the £20,000 prize offered by Parliament and began to look for longitude. He would labor for forty-odd years against the establishment before succeeding, but when he did, he proved himself more of a genius than the greatest scientists of his generation. Dava Sobel's <U>Longitude</U> tells the story.
