(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Dusan Petricic. The spirit of inventiveness pervades this drama of John Harrison, eighteenth-century maker of clocks and watches, who spent his life building a timepiece accurate enough to determine longitude at sea. The comic art serves a dual purpose: it leavens the scientific weightiness and reinforces the imaginative spirit of Harrison as he struggles for forty years to assemble his creation. Bib., glos., ind.
