Clockwork and Conspiracies / by Winters, Vera,author.;
"A dangerous magic. A cruel betrayal. A romance that could unravel time itself. Julian Hartley is out of time. Reeling from a dark family secret, the eager university student fears his budding career as a mage will end before it's begun. So he's thrilled when he lands an apprenticeship with the reclusive Emeric Greywood, a master of time magic as brilliant as he is cruel. But Julian soon finds himself snared in a web of betrayal. Desperate to shield his family, Julian gives in to a blackmailer's demands to steal Emeric's dangerous new research-research that could threaten the very fabric of time. Yet as they uncover the secrets of chronomancy together, Julian finds himself falling for Emeric-the very man he was sent to betray. With the clock counting down, Julian weaves a perilous plan. But can he save Emeric's research and his own heart before it's too late?"--Back cover

Longitude [sound recording] : the true story of a lone genius who solved the greatest scientific problem of his time by Sobel, Dava.(CARDINAL)175638; Reading, Kate.(CARDINAL)529959;
Read by Kate Reading.Anyone alive in the eighteenth century would have known that "the longitude problem" was the thorniest scientific dilemma of the day--and had been for centuries. The scientific establishment of Europe--from Galileo to Sir Issac Newton--had mapped the heavens in both hemispheres in its certain pursuit of a celestial answer. In stark contrast, one man, John Harrison, dared to imagine a mechanical solution--a clock that would keep precise time at sea, something no clock had ever been able to do on land. Longitude is a dramatic human story of an epic scientific quest and Harrison's forty-year obsession with building his perfect timekeeper, known today as the chronometer. Full of heroism and chicanery, it is also a fascinating brief history of astronomy, navigation, and clockmaking, and opens a new window on our world.
