) This was a great book! I've been interested in exploration and seafaring for most of my adult life and never knew about the longitude "issue." I was told about this book by a friend and bought the "non-picture" edition and was so fascinated I then got this one - an example where pictures really do add to the pleasure of the text. A must read for anyone interested in naval history, exploration, and the development of the chronometer.
