Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. By 1714 the inability to measure longitude accurately at sea had led to the tragic loss of hundreds of trading ships, and thousands of lives. Pressure from merchants and seamen finally drove the government to form the Board of Longitude, and a prize of 20,000 was offered for a successful solution. Although scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton knew that a clock would solve the problem of identifying longitude, it was generally considered impossible to build one that would withstand the motion of a ship or the extremes of temperature in foreign climes. Only Harrison, an uneducated carpenter from Lincolnshire, dared to pit his genius against the establishment belief that the answer lay in the stars, pursuing the realisation of his invention against years of scepticism." Talks about John Harrison's search for the perfect chronometer in the eighteenth century. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The three plays in this volume are all - in different ways - about the battle of the sexes. Strindberg was working on The Father (1887) and Lady Julie (1888) when his first marriage to the actress Siri von Essen was breaking up, and he wrote Playing With Fire (1892) at a time when the couple were going through an acrimonious court battle to establish who was to be given custody of their three children.The dramatic conflict is fuelled by sexual tension in all three plays and Strindberg depicts the various relationships as a power struggle. In a way, one could say that all the main characters are 'playing with fire' and that they get burnt in the process. Three plays about the battle of the sexes, influenced by the breakdown of Strindberg's first marriage and the custody battle over their children. Strindberg depicts the power struggles of the various relationships, the conflict and sexual tension.
