Beautiful telling of one tradesman's battle with the English scientific establishment to claim the coveted 'Longitude Prize' and a place in 18th century scientific history. An elegant portrait of pure genius and loving obsession. A book for anyone captivated by history's David and Goliath conquests. Sobel's gift for explaining natural phenomena and her love of history marry exquisitely. Essential reading for lovers of the BBC series. One of my favourite books.
