Rezensionen

"This is an outstanding compendium of all things metrological. ... As a reference work, this set is outstanding, but it also rewards occasional casual reading if you're a fan of measurement. Jan Gyllenbok can take pleasure in a life well-spent." (Mark Bollman, MAA Reviews, June17, 2019)
