Summary
Why is a meter the same length everywhere? While this may seem to be a banal question, standardized measures and weight are hardly self-evident. This history of measurement standards concentrates on Western Europe between 1660 and 1914 while taking political, administrative, economic, and scientific aspects into consideration.--, Provided by publisher
