This third volume of Gyllenbok's encyclopaedia of historical
metrology comprises the second part of the compendium of
measurement systems and currencies of all sovereign states of the
modern World (J-Z). 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.
