Riddle of the Compass: The Invention That Changed the World 
The story of the compass is shrouded in mystery and myth. Invented in China, it was put to use in feng shui, the art of finding the right location. Later the compass was adopted by the Italians who unleashed its formidable powers on ships at sea. This is the fascinating story of the invention of this instrument and its impact on the world.
