Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement
Description:
A revelatory and vibrant story of measurement which
will make you look at the world around you anew.\nWe measure rainfall and radiation, the depths of space and the
emptiness of atoms, calories and steps, happiness and fear. If
we could not measure, then we could not observe the world
around us; we could not experiment, learn and cooperate.
But why did this urge to measure flourish? And when did
measurement become ubiquitous?\nIt is an incredible story that spans hunter-gatherer societies
and the ancient Egyptians, the French Revolution and the
relentless quantication of the twenty-rst-century self. It is
a tale that tracks humanity’s search for dependable truths in a
chaotic universe. Full of mavericks and visionaries, adventure
and breakthroughs, Beyond Measure shows that measurement
has not only made the world we live in, it has made us too.
