Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 4to (28.5 cm), VIII, 437 pp. Publisher's cloth, dust jacket (dust jacket torn along flap with loss at upper edge; ownership inscription on first page). Proceedings of the landmark 1993 Longitude Symposium held at Harvard University, which brought together approximately 500 participants from sevente…en countries. The volume assembles scholarly papers that examine the longitude problem from multiple disciplinary perspectives, including mathematics, navigation, cartography, and the history of science, as well as detailed studies of instruments and practical solutions developed between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Following an introduction by the editor and an opening address by Jeremy R. Knowles, the Dean of Harvard, the volume includes a series of keynote and thematic essays addressing the conceptual and practical challenges of determining longitude at sea. Contributions include Alistair Cooke on the historical consequences of navigational ignorance; David S. Landes on the problem of finding position at sea; and papers situating longitude within mathematics, navigation, cartography, and the broader historiography of science. The main body of the proceedings is divided into thematic sections. These include early attempts at solving the longitude problem, with studies of Galileo's proposal involving the satellites of Jupiter, Christiaan Huygens' timekeepers, and early theoretical approaches; analyses of competing methods such as lunar-distance calculations; and detailed examinations of John Harrison's life and work, including his early wooden clocks, the development of his sea timekeepers, and the eventual recognition of his achievements. Additional papers address later eighteenth-century chronometer makers, including Pierre Le Roy, Ferdinand Berthoud, Thomas Mudge, John Arnold, and Thomas Earnshaw. A further section includes the James Arthur Lecture delivered by George Daniels on watchmaking in the twentieth century, as well as appendices containing translations of early documents on longitude methods and a technical appendix on determining local time at sea. The volume concludes with a bibliography and index. An important reference work for the history of navigation, precision timekeeping, and scientific instrumentation.
