Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time

by Dava Sobel

In this title the author sets the stage by recounting the difficulties early navigators had in determining their exact longitude. After the loss of many ships and human lives, Parliament in 1714 offered a rich prize for a practical way to measure longitude at sea. John Harrison, an apparently self-taught English clockmaker undertook the task. Over a period of 40 years, he developed four increasingly precise chronometers capable of holding accurate time over a long sea voyage. Comparing the chronometer’s time to the local sun time, a navigator could quickly measure the longitude with high precision. With the support of King George III, the clockmaker eventually prevailed and was awarded the prize.

Robert Frost, a great writer, and profound is the telling of it is more than you realize, it makes all the difference…

It has been said that there is no limit to what you can do if you set your mind to it, that has never been more true but these days you have to get an education.

Getting an education means reading and reading means learning…

It is not just about what you read but how you read it…

That is where you can really make a difference, if you find yourself, reading something but the words just keep getting blurry, then the chances are good that you are not in a learning frame of mind.

If you find that happening to you, get up walk around, focus, concentrate, that is how you learn, it is always more than just reading.

We thought this was nice.

We hope you feel the same way…

Dave Grossman’s thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of murder among the young.

Upon its initial publication, ON KILLING was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military … More >>

A foundation of many modern day writings can be traced to some of these same instances.

The war between the states inspired the poets of the American nation.

Popular writers of the day, such as Henry Wordsworth Longfellow and Ralph Waldo Emerson, wrote verse, as did those for whom recognition lay in the future, most notably Walt Whitman.

Alongside the greats of literature the reader will discover Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (father of the future Supreme Court justice), Henry Timrod (“Laureate of the Confederacy”), and Margaret Junkin (sister-in-law of Stonewall Jackson).

This collection includes poems from those who saw direct service, those who sought other means through which to contribute, and those for whom age or sex prevented direct participation. Includes poems by: 
- Ambrose Bierce
- William Cullen Bryant
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
- Julia Ward Howe
- Sindey Lanier
- Herman Melville
- James Whitcomb Riley
- Walt Whitman

Beautiful full-color illustrations throughout and short biographies of the poets help put their words into context.

Learning is part doing and part knowing, however you have to read in order to know in many cases.

This is difficult in the current hustle bustle world we live in, unless you take the time to read.

Reading only really takes a few moments, which usually turn into minuets.

Reading is by far one of the most widely practiced hobbies today in countries all over the world people read.

People learn by reading, they learn by doing, but most importantly it is the reading of the written word that
we most are able to share our knowledge.

Sharing knowledge is the most important part of the writing of men, read a book today or even just a few pages.

Reading has become less popular, with the advent of portable games, which often do not
support the learning experience, instead we are raising a generation of zombies that sit
around on couches and gain tons of weight, but hey they can really use those thumbs to text.

lesson. . .
