Synopsis of Longitude
En 'Longitude', Dava Sobel narra la épica búsqueda científica para resolver el problema de la longitud, un desafío que desconcertó a navegantes durante siglos. La historia se centra en John Harrison, un relojero autodidacta, y su obsesión de 40 años por construir un cronómetro preciso, un reloj capaz de mantener la hora exacta en el mar. Este libro es una fascinante mezcla de astronomía, navegación y relojería, que revela cómo Harrison luchó contra el establishment científico para revolucionar la navegación marítima y salvar innumerables vidas.
