This volume stands out among other books I have read on the metric system. Not only is it very readable but it is impressive in the scope and depth of coverage of the history, present status of the metric system in the United States and in the world, and outstanding individuals responsible for the science that created metric units... Anyone who reads this book will grow in appreciation of this remarkable measurement system.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Lorelle Young, President, U.S. Metric Association, Inc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInternational System of Units\u003c\/em\u003e (SI) is a one-of-a-kind book.
