Sottotitolo: the true story of a lone genius who solved the greatest scientific problem of his timeAutore: sobel d.Editore: walker & companyISBN: 9780007214228

The dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest of Harrison's forty-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronomether. Full of heroism and chicanery, brilliance and absurdity, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation and clockmaking.

With a new introduction by Neil Armstrong.

Edition: 2007
