Synopsis
This historical book improves the methods of measuring longitude. It draws from centuries of work that came before, including the difficulties faced by those who sail the world's oceans, the need for accurate timekeeping and the development of tools to help with that, the influences of astronomy and a deep understanding of mathematics, and the maturation of the sciences over time. The author shares numerous examples of observations, calculations, and corrections, all to aid in finding precise longitude through the use of lunar distances. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians, astronomers, sailors, scientists, and historians with an interest in the deep and fascinating history of navigation and astronomy, and how these fields intersected and advanced through the centuries.
