Mankind has a fascination with measurement. Down the centuries we have produced 

a plethora of incompatible and duplicatory systems for measuring everything from 

the width of an Egyptian pyramid to the concentration of radioactivity near a 

nuclear reactor and the value of the fine structure constant. With the 

introduction first of the metric system and of its successor the Système 

International d\'Unités (SI), the scientific community has established a standard 

method of measurement based on only seven core units.The ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF 

SCIENTIFIC UNITS, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES converts the huge variety of units from 

all over the world in every period of recorded history into units of the SI. 

Featuring: * An A - Z of conversion tables for over 10,000 units of 

measurements. * Tables of the fundamental constants of nature with their units. 

* Listings of professional societies, and national standardization bodies for 

easy reference. * An extensive bibliography detailing further reading on the 

multifarious aspects of measurement and its units. This huge work is simply a 

\"must have\" for any reference library frequented by scientists of any discipline 

or by those with historical interests in units of measurement such as 

archaeologists. SOME PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION: NEW SCIENTIST \"If you tire 

of flicking through piles of textbooks looking for the formulas for converting 

noggins into litres or foot-pound-force per hour into megawatts, do not despair. 

Chuck out the lot and buy SCIENTIFIC UNIT CONVERSION by Francois Cardarelli 

which claims to contain every scientific unit ever used ... All weights, 

volumes, powers, areas, field strengths - you name it, it\'s here. A gem for 

engineers, scientists, historians, journalists ...
