How to Measure Anything: The Science of Measurement

This book will teach readers about scales of measurement used in everything from meteorology to music notation in this comprehensive and informative reference guide. Measurement is constantly all around us. It forms the foundations of science and shapes our every day. Our relationships with measurement start the moment we wake, when we check the day’s temperature and continue until the precise second we go to sleep. But beyond the familiar measurements, hundreds more are listed in this reference book. This book’s entries are accompanied by diagrams, symbols, and illustrations to help demonstrate these concepts and measurements in action.
