ssk (Australia) (2007/09/29): The true story of a lone genuis who solved the greatest scientific problem of his time...Longitude is the dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest, and of Harrison's forty year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. Full of heroism and chicandery, brilliance and the absurd, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation and clockmaking.
