About this title

Synopsis

The author describes concepts of measurement as related to such areas as speed, length, mass, and volume. Goodreads reviewer - "It was a long time ago that I read this, but I remember loving it. Asimov starts from everyday objects and then goes by orders of magniture to larger and larger objects and then down to smaller and smaller objects. As I remember he does the same thing with temperatures and speeds and maybe some other quantities."

Store Description

I can not honestly say we specialize in a certain author, or certain subject matter. I will say we have a lot of science fiction, and a lot of mysteries, a lot of them from certain authors. Now I need to sell some books to make room for the ones I would like to move in. I estimate that in about another fifty years or so the books on our shelves will be such that I will be unable to bear to sell them.
