Dava Sobel is awesome.
The author that has been able to capture the imaginations of the entire world after telling that fascinating history of the mechanical watch and its importance to world history in terms of navigating the seas, will be in Amagansett. That’s one of the benefits of being on the East End, you can go to the library and meet one of the most famous and important writers of our time.
The author, who lives in Springs, has also written “Galileo’s Daughter,” “Longitude” and “Planets” will give a lecture about her books at the Amagansett free library tomorrow. Definitely reccommend this one.
DAVA SOBEL AT THE AMAGANSETT LIBRARY - Dava Sobel, world renown author will lecture. Takes place at 2 p.m. Amagansett Free Library, 215 Main Street, Amagansett, 631-267-3810.

A truly relevent book. The watch actually nurtured history to space travel and computers. It is a shame that we are actually going backwards in Space travel. Good Luck, Sincerely bigmikecraft.newsvine.com
