520 1 $a"This is the history of the most important navigational device of all time, the magnetic compass, born of the need for a reliable means of navigating treacherous sea routes around the globe. Compass chronicles the misadventures of those who attempted to perfect the instrument - so precious to sixteenth-century seamen that by law, any man found tampering with it had his hand pinned to the mast with a dagger." "Compass is organized in loosely chronological order - with detours for particularly significant people or topics - in twenty-one short chapters."--Jacket.
