Description:
This is a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation and horology. The central character is John Harrison, self-taught Yorkshire clockmaker, who was forty-year obsessed with building the perfect timekeeper. This was in the late 17th century, when sailors literally had to guess at their longitude while out of sight of land.Battling against the establishment, Harrison stood alone in pursuit of his solution and the £20,000 offered by Parliament, to an inventor who could solve this dilemma. The story will keep you on the edge of your chair till the last pages! Book is in new condition.
