More than four thousand entries in thirty-five categories provide the etymologies, numerical equivalents, definitions, and usages of measurement terminology. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a very complete and useful reference work for anyone who deals with measurements. I have been able to find almost every term I have looked for in this book. Every measurement professional should be able to find a place on their working bookshelf for it. However, there is one glaring omission: the word "metrology" (the science of measurement) is NOT one of the entries in the book!
