Reader Reviews:We cannot 'keep' time - only record its passing (0/0 people found this helpful)A well researched, beautifully written history of the race to measure longitude. I get the feeling from this book that Harrison was probably the most altruistic of all the rearchers looking for this'Holy Grail' of the sea. For me, Sobel has once again triumphed as she did in 'Galileos Daughter'.
