Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of his Time
by
Gould filled eighteen notebooks with meticulous colored-ink drawings
This was a great book about finding how John Harrison invented a watch to find longitude. I still don't believe he gets enough credit, especially since there was a lot of copying of his work.
Overall, I will read more of Dava Sobel's work.
