The curious history of weights & measures
Overview
'The Curious History of Weights & Measures' tells the story of how we have come to quantify the world around us. Looking at everything from carats, pecks and pennyweights to firkins and baker's dozens through to modern science-based standards such as kilograms and kilometres, this book considers both what sparked the creation of myriad measures and why there were so many efforts to usher in standardisation. Full of handy conversion charts and beautiful illustrations, this book is a treasure trove of fun facts and intriguing stories about the calculations we use every day.
