Published in a pocket book format for ease of use, this detailed guide is
truly unique giving accurate metric equivalents and conversion factors for
no fewer than 10,000 conversion factors as well as detailed descriptions
of over 2000 units, covering the full range of science, technology, and
medicine. Dr. Francois Cardarelli has spent many years building up this
complete range of U.S. customary, British Imperial, metric, historic systems
and SI units. The book contains expanded conversion charts and tables which
are readily referenced and coloured tabs denote the different sections while
a
slot-in user guide acts as a bookmark. The appendices contain lists of
national
and international standardization organizations, US professional societies,
with
at least 20 new entries to the list, and there is also an English-French
lexicon of
terms. In addition, a detailed bibliography completes this comprehensive
guide.
The pocket-sized format and slot-in user guide bookmark makes this handy and
user-friendly, and renders the extraction of relevant information as simple
as
possible. It is a great time-saver, is packed with useful new information,
and
is a perfect addition to any research department, engineer's , scientist's
or
student's library.
This new edition includes: * New tables - presenting, for example, the
detailed
chronology of the definitions of the meter prototype, regional variations of
old
French units, the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (IPTS-1990) and
improved tables in Ancient Times systems of measures * Additions to the A-Z
listing of units - such as the G unit for the radiochemical yield either in
the cgs or
the SI systems, several units of turbidity, the pH definition ... * An
updated listing
of numerous US professional societies * Updated bibliography and references
*.
Scientific Unit Conversion 2nd edition sets the standard for conversion
manuals,
and will be an indispensable reference for engineers, working scientists,
researchers,
students and libraries.
