This second volume of Gyllenbok's encyclopaedia of historical
metrology comprises the first part of the compendium of measurement
systems and currencies of all sovereign states of the modern World
(A-I). Units of measurement are of vital importance in every
civilization through history. Since the early ages, man has through
necessity devised various measures to assist him in everyday life.
They have enabled and continue to enable us to trade in commonly
and equitably understood amounts, and to investigate, understand,
and control the chemical, physical, and biological processes of the
natural world. The encyclopeadia will be of use not only to
historians of science and technology, but also to economic and
social historians and should be in every major academic and
national library as standard reference work on the topic.
