 A fascinating collection November 19, 2008

A superb collection of easy to read and digest essays covering a vast range of subjects from paper sizes to volcanoes. It's a lovely book to dip into when you feel the need to expand your knowledge.
 Not really a story, just very short series of 2-page articles March 1, 2008

The main item missing from this is a story. This is a series of articles, few of which are connected. There is nothing wrong with the items, although because of the shortness of the text on each item there isn't much detail. If you want some basic background on a range of measuremnet topics this is fine, if you want a detailed discussion of the history of measurement and the characters linking the history, look elsewhere.
