***The Riddle of the Compass*

by Amir D. Aczel

Reviewed September 9, 2001.
2001.

This book was the interesting story of how the compass was developed and how drastically it changed the world. It ended up being light reading, but was a new way of looking at some parts of history. It was interesting, if not terribly gripping.
