LA RECHERCHE No. 298 (Mai 1997)
«Numerous
reference works provide
conversion
tables between SI and British and American units. This title does that
very well. But this work translated from French has a unique feature:
its sections on ancient and obsolete weights and measures and those for
obsolete national and regional systems. For major European and Asian
cultures and for Egypt the author has provided units of length, area,
weight, and dry and liquid capacity. Conversion tables make up most of
the book. In an easy-to-read format, it describes about 2,000 units,
giving for each its name, symbol, physical quantity, dimension,
conversion factor, and a variety of notes and definitions. In addition
to formal names for units, the author provides useful explanatory text,
scholarly references for further information, and such tables as "Old
Alchemical Symbols" and "Old Symbols Used in the British System."
Economic historians, scholars in religion, and history students will
find this a useful and comprehensive source. An excellent addition to
scholarly reference collections at a modest cost.»
