5.0 out of 5 stars International Travellers - a book for browsing, 20 Feb 2006

misocanpnist (Papua New Guinea) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Dictionary Of International Units: Metric-Matters: Names and Symbols (Paperback)

The lightweight paperback edition (or the ebook version on a laptop) provides International travellers with a fascinating and unusual reference source for International Units.
Don't just think that this book is only an essential book for High School students around the World.
By the end of their trip after browsing through this book travellers will have enriched their vocabulary and discovered hundreds of International symbols.
Find the unit for reluctance. Find out the nationalities of the scientists whose surnames have been used for International Units.
Have a good flight.
