Book Review of The Illustrated Longitude

The Illustrated Longitude

An interesting, although at times confusing, read. While the illustrations add much to the book, the details in the illustrations are not always clear. But then they were, in the case of notes, written hundreds of years ago and in a different style of writing.

What really annoyed me were the side notes accompanying the illustrations. These were in italics, which made it difficult for my old eyes to focus on.
