I expected a lot of scientific stories about measuring, but not science, but science, which combined the scientific subject of measurement with the relationship between politics, society and culture.
I was interested in measurements after my degree, but it was a little bit different than I thought, but I read them very much. I thought cultural diversity in particular enriched us, but it was good to see that diversity may not be necessarily good in science and engineering, because of the clash between the beginning of metric systems and the forces that opposed it.
I'm dealing with the history of measuring the world as an abstract medium, and I think it's a very useful book to look at science and living in terms of measurement.
Social, political and scientific history of measurement is based on many examples. Some sentences are not somewhat smooth, but it is well illustrated the impact of the history and measurement of the subject on human society.
Historically, all the lengths and weights and so on have been measured in different ways and standards in different parts of the world, but at some point measuring has achieved global standardization, which is that mankind once again builds the Tower of Babel.
It points to the importance of measurement. The historical moments of all science were with measurement. And also in our daily lives, measurements are very important.
The process of human-sized development, which has been interrelated with the human race, is historically, scientifically, culturally and sometimes philosophically.
It throws things out beyond the norms and units of history. Ruthin and freshman.
James Vincent: The world of measurement
We live in a conscious or unconscious world, always measuring and measuring everything around us. As soon as you wake up in the morning, you check your time, when you eat, you're thinking about calories, and you care about weight changes, and before you buy things, you make sure they're the size. The ‘sing ’ of the ‘gasby’ by simply a pleasant unit of money is actually a measure. In other words, we live in a world of measurement. The book is so deeply related to everyday life, such as air and water, that it is invisible and has a hard time making its characters aware of the measurements. He points out that mankind has finally changed from other animals, beginning to count and record for the first time. And from then on, measurements developed with us in a very close place to our lives. Although mankind has set new standards, measured by and understood the world, the already widely used measure has also set limits on the world. It's a book that has developed the intertwined process of human beings and measurements, historically, scientifically, culturally and sometimes philosophically, and it's woven together into a world of measurement and beyond.
