Longitude is a delight to read and has all of the elements of a story of intrigue. If you truly want to understand something about the basis for science, humanity's exploration of the world, and how and why these things advance, this book is an excellent place to start. A big improvement, as I said it would be. For questions or comments about a review, please contact the person listed at the top of the review.
