This review is from: The Story of Measurement (Hardcover)
I ordered this book as I very much liked the book "The story of writing" of the same author which is an excellent book with rather detailed information and interesting photos.Contrary to that book, this one seems to be a rather arbitrary collection of all sorts of tidbits loosely related to measurement including the system of biological species, tsunamis and morse code. All topics are explained on one or two pages, which does not leave a lot of room for any deeper information. One star above minimum I give, as the book is beatifully made with lots of nice photographs.
