Book excerpt: The dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and of one man's forty-year obsession to find a solution to the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day--"the longitude problem." Anyone alive in the eighteenth century would have known that "the longitude problem" was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day-and had been for centuries. Lacking the ability to measure their longitude, sailors throughout the great ages of exploration had been literally lost at sea as soon as they lost sight of land. Thousands of lives and the increasing fortunes of nations hung on a resolution. One man, John Harrison, in complete opposition to the scientific community, dared to imagine a mechanical solution-a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had ever been able to do on land. 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 chicanery, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation, and clockmaking, and opens a new window on our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Method of Finding the Longitude at Sea by Time-Keepers: To Which Are Added, Tables of Equations to Equal Altitudes In the following tract I have shewn in as plain and clear a manner as I am able; First, What longitude is. Secondly, What is understood by the term, Finding it: that is in what manner and from what circumstances the knowledge of it is derived. And, thirdly, The method of applying a watch, or time-keeper, to this purpose; which naturally includes the means and method of finding the rate which the time-keeper goes at, and how much it is too fast or too flow for mean time at the place the (hip fails from before the voyage commences. This, indeed, is the only difficult part of the business: for the method of finding the longitude by a time-keeper, when the time-keeper is regulated to keep mean time, and set to mean time at the first meridian; or when its daily deviation from mean time at the first: meridian is given, is too plain to be misunderstood, and too simple an operation to require rules for putting it in practice.
