The Quest for Longitude: The Proceedings of the Longitude Symposium Harvard University, Cambridge, ...4 reviews
Longitude Symposium (1993 Harvard University)

Collection of Historical Scientific Instrumen, 1996

Previous reviewers say "lavish"; I say gorgeous.
This book considers the problem of longitude from a number of viewpoints. While Dava Sobel's book concentrated on the Harrison/Maskelyne controversy, this volume uses historical, mathematical and geographic viewpoints. What is impressive is the genius, dedication and tenacity of the Renaissance scientists. They may not have had GPS but they knew what they were doing.
