a very quick read, but highly entertaining and educational! Had no idea that so many ships sunk just because they couldn't accurately gauge their longitude and shipwrecked! I now understand this was a very serious issue, and how Harrison (the lone genius) solved a problem that vexed many of the most famous astronomers, mathematicians, and physicists, including Cassini, Galileo, Hooke, Hugyens, and Newton.
