The story of how clock-maker John Harrison solved the problem of accurate ocean navigation in the 18th century. The problem of calculating longitude engaged the attention of the top scientific minds of the European world including Issac Newton. The Board pf Navigation offered an enormous cash prize. A practical mechanic cracked the problem by developing the most accurate clock every produced. The book examines several of scientific attempts to solve the problem and chronicles Harrison's development of several versions of his marine chronometer. These remarkable clocks still run at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. I would add `Longitude” by Dava Sobel.

They are often enhanced for those students (including myself back "when dirt was clear - so long ago, it wasn't dirty yet, when I was that age) who find science, inquiry, etc. more interesting than other more general non-fiction assignments.
