Reviews

Steve ，

I loved this book。 It went way beyond a dry discussion of meters and kilograms。 There is a considerable and fascinating discussion of the historical and political implications of measurement。 The book was a pleasure to read and I found it hard to put down。 The writing style is conversational， with some clever wording and puns。 This book is well worth reading。 Thank you to Netgalley and Faber and Faber for the advance reader copy。
