Sea Trails Map: North San Francisco Bay, San Rafael to Carquinez Strait

The Illustrated Longitude brings a new and important dimension to Dava Sobel's celebrated story. It contains the entire original narrative of? Longitude, redesigned to accompany 183 images chosen by William Andrewes-- from portraits of every important figure in the story to maps and diagrams, scientific instruments, and John Harrison's remarkable sea clocks themselves. Andrewes's elegant captions and sidebars on scientific and historical events tell their own story of longitude, paralleling and illuminating Sobel's memorable tale.
