Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time by Dava Sobel

4.0

This was a book that was recommended for a class I'm taking in Astronomy. I would not have typically picked it otherwise.

I learned a LOT reading this. In spite of it being non-fiction, this was a rather engaging story. Yes, I got lost in the science of it once in a while, but I managed to grasp the concepts and make sense of them.
