@Katie: The show is currently airing on PBS, so you may be able to catch it there.

@Chris: Was it Dava Sobel’s book? I’ve heard good thins about that one and may check it out soon. Umberto Eco’s The Island of the Day Before also talks a lot about longitude, if you’re thinking of a fiction book.

@Mary Beth: I had not heard of that book before. It sounds interesting–thanks for the recommendation!

Ever read Carry On, Mr. Bowditch? He was the self taught writer of the American Navigator aka The Sailor’s Bible. Great YA read. I read it with my boys this last school year.

I read a really good book about longitude a few years ago, although it wasn’t a YA book. Can’t remember the name, though.
