The true story of a lone genius who solved the greatest scientific problem of his time.

When Dava Sobel's 'Longitude' was published to universal acclaim in 1996, readers voiced only one regret: that it was not illustrated. Now, William Andrewes, the man who organised and hosted the Longitude Symposium that inspired her book, has joined Dava Sobel to create a richly illustrated version of her classic story.

This book contains the entire text of 'Longitude', redesigned to accompany the 178 images that Will Andrewes has chosen to accompany the original narrative: from portraits of every important figure in the story to maps, diagrams and full-colour photographs of scientific instruments. Andrewes elegant captions emphasize the scientific and historical events surrounding the images, and they tell their own dramatic story of longitude, paralleling and illuminating Dava Sobel's memorable tale.
