This is a dictionary of everything that represents a measure or relates to measurement. The collection covers science and electronics, engineering and manufacturing, crafts and textiles, natural history and farming, music and literature, sport and militaria, and many other areas. The most up-to-date unit in astrophysics may be found alongside a term used in ancient Egyptian architecture, and units from many languages and cultures are included. Entries are in alphabetical order. Each entry gives the etymological derivation of the word, and its numerical equivalent in both metric and imperial units. There are also cross-references to guide the reader to related terms.
