Hi, folks -
Yesterday, Norton published (notes from B&N website which is selling
it online for approximately 40% off - disclaimer: I have no financial
interest in B&N):
Marguerite Holloway. The Measure of Manhattan: The Tumultuous Career
and Surprising Legacy of John Randel, Jr., Cartographer, Surveyor,
Inventor.
Norton, ISBN13: 9780393071252
I've been reading her stuff in WIRED for a while now and she's a
terrific writer on scientific history topics. And, I'll be reading
this book as soon as the bricknmortar stores are open!
Enjoy!
