Industry Reviews
Developed from the World measurement guide, this reference is arranged in four parts. The first is an introduction describing the three major world measurement systems: metric (SI), British, and American. The second is a subject-by-subject listing of definitions, special measurements, formulae, and calculations for 24 subject areas ranging from accountancy to weapons, and including such categories as agriculture, construction, health, iron and steel, sound and music, and textiles. Following is a section containing conversion tables, and another comprising abbreviations, rough conversions, and weights and measures used historically. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
