Longitude

Less biography and more of just a general history of solving the problem of longitude on ships. The author focuses on John Harrison, but heavily diverts the narrative to explain the state of the longitudinal science and chronometers. Over all, this was a quick and informative read on the subject and gives the reader awesome descriptions and insight into John Harrisons time period. One of my few criticism was the harsh lack of images or diagrams. The author describes clockwork components vividly, but a few images would have been helpful.
