Quantification in Science: The VNR Dictionary of Engineering Units and Measures

By Michele G. Melaragno and M. Melarango

This volume promotes order within the confusion of the many systems of units in existence. After establishing a clearer picture of science today, it examines the articulated language science by defining the units and their systems, and by offering a quick method to convert from one unit to another. Concise and to the point, it allows the reader to go from generalities to specifics-and vice versa-in a matter of minutes.
