Beschreibung
This book will sell because everything that people do is measured in units
of one type or another. Scientists use them all the time but they are also
important in the study of history, geography and other academic
disciplines as well as in the daily life of the more general reader.
Books even claiming to cover units and their interconversion are scarce and no other book does such a comprehensive job Puts a huge number of scientific and general unit conversions at the reader's fingertips in a user-friendly, thoroughly indexed guide Builds on the reputation of the popular previous editions, but beefed up with even more units and conversions Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
