About this title

Synopsis

We live in a maze of measurements—calories, kilograms/pounds, meters/feet—but what do they all mean? Do they really tell us what we need to know? Featuring illustrated charts and tables, The Sizesaurus is both a fun read and an exhausted reference for science-phobes and science-philes alike.
