    New book on Maskelyne
    From: Francis Upchurch
    Date: 2014 Dec 27, 01:59 -0800

    Santa brought me a good new book on Maskelyne, astronomer royal, rather maligned as villain in Sobel's book.

    This one by the Royal Greenwich museum, edited by Rebekah Higgitt. Offical price £25, but I think Santa got mine cheap off Amazon.

    Much more balanced view of the Harrison clock versus lunar debate and Maskelyne's role in all that.

    Recommended for lunatics everywhere.

    Francis
