I thought Dava Sobel's book, Longitude, was phenomenal. Louise Borden does an exellent job in presenting John Harrison's work and story to a younger audience.
This book deserves our consideration and discussion.

I definitely want to read this...Have you seen the video [TEXTLongitudeTEXT? Doesn't really have any bearing on the merits of the book, but another really good telling of the historical circumstances.

I haven't seen the video, Longitude. I will definitely check it out. I'm leary enough to head out onto the high seas as it is. I can't imagine doing it before John Harrison's sea clock.
